PROGRAM NOTES
"I mean, if you stopped every time something felt
weird you'd never get anything done."
One day we had too many coffees and it drove us to
act. We’ve used ourselves as guinea pigs; we’ve
locked ourselves in this café for the last 10
days drinking so much coffee that we’ve surpassed
the apathy barrier. It’s a new frontier and we
want to share the experience with you. You too can understand,
have the courage to go further, to leap and feel the
freedom in your hair. You are not cowards, you are not
waiting for the right moment, you are not required to
pay any money, you are not in any danger. You are here
with us. You are witnesses.
A comfortable space, shared with people very far from
relaxed. She thinks she saw something happen, but didn’t
want to get involved. He’s struggling with the truth,
with the consequences, with the possibility of communicating
at all. And don’t even mention the coffee. They take
the audience hostage in a café filled with stimulants
and biscuits, but rapidly running out of sugar.
Two people in a state of extreme agitation butt heads
and break down over their desire for action. Is it possible
to change the world from inside a café?
