Project
Some things break suddenly, others wear out over time. How can the damaged parts be repaired and what repairs can be done? In their search for an answer, the characters in this collection reveal contradictions and fragility, allowing themselves to be surprised by the unpredictability of relationships and unexpected solutions. A collaborative exploration of the obstacles and varying representations of the figurative and material knots that surround the everyday. Coaching in this project aims to explore possible narrative forms and establish a creative space that is free from fixed and predetermined structures.
