The approach to devising.


The production is based on the idea of presenting a jazz-riff on the ideas and concerns of the original play.

Like a jazz improvisation, the performance is different every time.

The show is semi-improvised. Only lines from the original play text are used, but the actors can say them in any order and repeat them or break them up according to the action.

As the show is improvised, the actors must respond to what they give each other in the moment. This is how the sense of ‘liveness’ is created on stage.
