STAGE


The participants follow their narrative pathway through the city ending up in a Nightclub. It’s a real place with real people. But for the fifty participants it is also Café Bon Bon. There are tables and a small stage. Maybe a small dance floor. The participants find a seat and buy something to eat or drink. They look around and wonder whom these people are. And which of them belong to their story.

The DJ lowers the music as the MC introduces the next act. There’s a sort of variety show that is already underway with acts as varied as:
• Spoken word poetry
• A shadow puppet play about the sinking of the Titantic
• A man in drag singing “How High the moon”
• Two sumo wrestlers battling to the death
• A light dance with crutches
• A woman submerged in a tank of water doing an acrobatic routine
• One act version of Rabindranath Tagore’s play “Sacrifice” with a group dance in the middle.
• A percussionist playing a plastic bucket
• Someone reading a treatise against the Iraq War
• And whoever from the audience wants to get up and share something
