Etiquette

BY ANT HAMPTON AND SILVIA MERCURIALI, ROTOZAZA (UK)

Although performed in a public space, this gripping two-person performance is highly personal as you are the performer. 

The concept is simple. There is no-one watching - other people in the cafe or bar are not aware of it. Taking a seat with a friend or stranger, you wear headphones which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. There is a kind of magic involved - for it to work you just need to listen and respond accordingly. 

From raw pain to delicate emotion, your story will surprise, amaze and move you in unexpected ways as you gain a new awareness of the power of dramatic dialogue and communication. 

This fascinating show opened in London in 2007 and has been performed around the world – by people just like you!

This event is supported by British Council.

“This is a magical, unthreatening experience… the act of relinquishing responsibility for thought, word and action is unique and the effect is unmissable.” British Theatre Guide
