AKT I sie / loro / them

Act I comes from a plural. He knows neither leading nor supporting actors.

A group of people meet in a room without having planned it.
They come from different directions and speak different languages.

If you ask for the way, you are told a direction. The same questions have brought them together. They have come to investigate the places they inhabit.

They deal with near and far, typical and atypical, copied, stolen and borrowed.

They ask about the past that unites us and from which we cannot detach ourselves. After the fragments that we consciously or unconsciously take with us from near and far places.

They ask about the culture of their homeland and what has become of it.
They wonder what was there before, space or time. They dissect the path on which they walk and look for the ideal line.

What does ideal mean?
Does everyone have the same dream or does the utopia of some turn into a nightmare for others? \\You wonder what characterizes a place, in short: site-specific.

What lasts forever and what changes?

Act I shows the impossibility of human isolation. What seems transient to the individual lives on in everyone's memory.

Many people forget less.

Their future is common and changeable.
