PACKAGE

Dancers, actors, musicians, and a tap-dancer perform under the open sky for people maybe just on there way home from work. Package is about the everyday office routine. About people who spend their lives in an office environment, their functions directed by a system: hierarchy at the expense of feeling, mood, personal initiative, and emotion. Package is a dream about just one moment, when in the face of every such law and limiting prejudice we are able to reach in a way other than that dictated by the rules. What happens when one link in the chain of the office stereotype breaks free as far as human fantasy can go? And who’ll join in?

Package is a physical theatre performance, an example of applying the genius loci of a given environment. Package was created by Shusaku Takeuchi for his group Bodytorium in the Netherlands in 1993. This work has performed in many places around the world, always adapted to the setting of the given location. Among other things, it was the first official production from Western Europe performed on Red Square in Moscow.

Concept, direction, choreography: Shusaku Takeuchi (Japan), music: André Bach a Mark Tegefoss (Det Wiehl).
