We have been dreaming of this performance for 10 years. We started doing it several times. The last time we started, we decided to never finish it. The question is whether ACT(O)ReSses is a performance about actresses or actors, about the theatre, about all of us in it or about it in the world, about the glory, the brilliance, about everything we dreamed about, about suffering, about carrying one’s cross and believing. It may not be. It is possible that it is not even a performance. It is possible that it is  something more. We don’t know.  We don’t even know if we’ve never done this before or if we’ve always been doing exactly this.

Let’s try together and see.

ACT(O)ReSses is really not a performance. It is about 100 minutes of our lives, in which we dance, cry and sing together for all of us in the theatre and for the theatre in the world – for the values, traditions, hierarchies, prejudices that define us/it.

‘ACT(O)ReSses’ IS NOT REALLY A PLAY. IT IS ONE HUNDRED MINUTES OF OUR LIVES, IN WHICH WE PLAY, CRY AND SING TOGETHER FOR ALL OF US IN THE THEATER AND FOR HIM IN THE WORLD – ABOUT THE VALUES, TRADITIONS, HIERARCHIES, PREJUDICES THAT DETERMINE US.
