Ensemble Festival: [THE FRAME] (by Électrico 28)
[The Frame] is a play like no other. Inviting us to open our hearts and eyes to the irrelevant and the trivial things in life. Four characters, trained in observation, translate what happens on the street with the help of letters that become words and words that become phrases.
Inspired by Georges Perec’s observations and arranging of whatever, [The Frame] proposes to settle down in front of the passing city life in order to observe it, think it, calculate it, designate it, and share it.
There is no plot in this play. There is no ending. [The Frame] is many species of spaces – playful, poetic, for surprises and spontaneous actions, for meeting strangers – but above all, it is about crisscrossing the ordinary, the trivial and the general to discover and fall in love with the extraordinary, the special and the unique.
Ensemble Festival 2023 is part of At the Docks 2023 – a brand-new summer season of arts, culture, and events at the Royal Docks.
