We all start as strangers
Nässjö / 2016
Osynliga Teatern & Side-Show
We all start as strangers opened up the different stories that we all carry with us throughout our lives, and encouraged the audience to take part in experiences from lives that exist alongside their own. We all start as strangers offered different ways of accessing and perceiving one’s own memories, to enter one’s own stories as well as those of others from a new perspective.
The audience was taken on a journey through the old chair factory in Nässjö, from within the many rooms of the factory the audience would enter a series of different memories, as recalled by themselves or by those they met there.
The performance was a sound- and theatre experience where the audience was given instructions through headphones, as well as direct instructions from the participants.
