         All The Things You Said You Never Said Before You Thought You Could Ever Say         Echoes Off the Walls Underground Are Louder Than Your Footsteps Above Me, The         Look, What I Don't Understand

All The Things You Said You Never Said Before You Thought You Could Ever Say

Synopsis:
All The Things. . .explores the multilayered reality of what we express overtly to the world, and what we keep hidden in the silence of the subconscious. Meet one couple. Watch two versions. One lives the reality of a missed chance, a missed communication, an unwanted grudge held over nothing; the other physically, verbally, feverishly tries what their former versions don't - to embrace the fantastic challenge of sharing a life. Around them, of course, the world falls from the sky. Luckily, the imminent chaos turns out to be the just needed catalyst for them to finally grasp for some meaning.

Notes:
Created and performed by Guillaumarc Froidevaux, Gema Galiana, Zuzana Kakalikova, and Anthony Nikolchev

Echoes Off the Walls Underground Are Louder Than Your Footsteps Above Me, The

Synopsis:
A man. Salesman. An Orpheus of Dostoevsky's creation and Witkacy's nightmare, selling what people don't need in a time when people have nothing. His life drones on, one above ground, another beneath it. And then the unbearable happens. A schizophrenic waltz on the precipice of the recession. Best Actor at United Solo Festival 2011.
