Berlin-based Serbian playwright Iva Brdar’s lyrical, brutally raw, exquisitely poetic journey “And If I Don’t Behave Then What?” explores deeper questions about decorum, security, and joy. What actually happens when we misbehave?
From director Beth Milles:
The play is written as a long tone poem (with no punctuation) to be discovered upon articulation. Coining this process has enabled us to open up the images to excavate the meaning of the words. But we know we need you, very much, and this play necessitates the experiential opportunity to share the words with you. To see how they sit with you as we go.
These moments of fragile humanity, of purpose, of fractures of eloquence, I hope present an opportunity to come together. To recall the glistening moments in our collective past(s) while sharing a strength and breathing together in a space again. Inhale and exhale.
Life is as quick as a breath.
