workworkworkwork – theatre play

Cammerspiele Leipzig

workworkworkworkwork

A play about: Being busy. A piece about: Keeping busy. A play about being busy.

When Ida gets on the underground at rush hour, she is right in the middle of it. Among people - on the way to work, on the way from work. Among employers and employees. Ida sits on the underground and is surrounded by work. As always and everywhere. Ida thinks. Maybe the person opposite is thinking that Ida might be an orthodontist. Maybe the person opposite is really happy in their job. Or really frustrated? Maybe they don't have a job at the moment. Or no job at all? Why are we working? When does being busy become work? What does work do to us? Why does work form such an elementary point of identification?

The team addressed these questions, conducting interviews with people in search of answers or further questions, looking for solutions or declarations of war. These thoughts and voices flow into a piece, an underground railway journey.
