A record player and a stack of vinyl albums. For each record, there is at least one story to tell. The stories come from our own and others’ lives, from gossip, magazines, friends, and strangers. One by one, the records are played, and the stories grow out of the previous one and into the next.

This experience unfolds over two evenings; on the first evening, the impressive record collection is played in random order, and the company tells the stories behind them. On the second evening, the audience is invited to bring their own records and share their stories about them.

Each performance features the records in a new order. Every evening opens the door to new stories, resulting in a remarkably precise and heartwarming show, a journey through art, politics, and love, seen through songs they both love and hate.

This project is part of the Hospitality cycle, an extended period of research on the theme of hospitality.

Relaxed performance

This is a relaxed performance. It caters to anyone who finds standard theatre performances and the typical etiquettes of being at the theatre overwhelming and uncomfortable. Such accommodations mean that the venue and actors on stage adopt a relaxed attitude toward movement and sounds from the audience, audience members can come and go as they please, latecomers are allowed, cushions and bean bags are available to use as an alternative to chairs, and you can spend time in our relaxed space if needed during the performance.
