Finale

For everyone aged 6 and up

Something stops.
Something breaks.
When something is broken, you can’t play with it anymore.
Unless with the pieces. But sometimes those are too sharp and can hurt.
So that’s not allowed again.
Many things break.
Lamps. Faucets. Pants. Winter coats.
People too.
People break too.
People even break so badly that they die.
And then they have to go away.
Not in the regular garbage bin of course, like the lamps and the faucets and the winter coats.
But they do go away.
To never come back again.
And that, that is really very, very sad.
That they never come back?
It’s incomprehensible.
And unfair. And rotten. And cunt and fuck and shit. Sorry for the dirty words. You’re not supposed to say those out loud of course.
But that’s how it feels.

With ‘Finale’, compagnie barbarie presents a performance about finitude and temporality.
And, to use the big word: about death.
A performance that makes you realize that dying means you never come back.
And that you can feel everything you feel about it.
