The Humanoid Trilogy is a search of the relation of the individual to society spiritual is centred, the course is in the shuttle of the individual, through the spiritual into a sociological context; the paradox of life. For T.r.a.s.h daily life contains the mystery of identity, the loss of the self and is constantly surrounded by the condition of death. The focus will be on the relation between individuals and collective human values, causing miscommunication, and other collateral damage in the fundaments of co-existence. The trilogy will explore morality versus feelings against the background of its conditioned reasoning process. Within the concept of ‘inconceivably human’ the definition of human gets more often entangled with preconceptions, conditions, standards and values. It all comes down to a moral territory. Are we a resemblance of what we ones were, or what has still to become human?

Disorderly Conduct will treating the normality of disrupted codes and values, zooming in on situations where the rules of interaction are violated; the twisted interaction in people’s daily life. Disorderly Conduct - Episode 1 is a collage of seemingly charming stories with psychological undertones. Scenes, playing with innocent human needs are turning into cruel impulses leading to death (stroke). Inspired by ‘real-life events’ in which relations between people are brutally disrupted, personal experiences are transformed into a more surreal experience. On stage is an entirely new cast of six English-speaking performers. They look like models, but they are torn from their conscience.

A parable of the human condition: Why do I have this urge to do things over and over again?
