In the performance Figures, we get to follow a trio of tricky characters with shaky self-esteem, who are out ona mysterious mission. Dressed in pastel-coloured cloaks, long silk gloves and customary trousers, thecharacters try to enter a theatre to steal something. Once inside, the dusty interior of the theatre comes to lifeand tells of his forgotten dreams of being on a stage, of the history of the theatre house and all its divas.
The characters choose to help realize the interior’s dreams and the performance turns into an absurdistnumber where a chair dances ballet, a curtain sings opera and a refrigerator conjures. Figurer is a performancethat explores dreams, the magic of everyday life, the forgotten and the longing to be seen.
