Prøvedage / The Tryouts
Performance, film, installation
“What if the fire isn’t the end, but the beginning?”
Prøvedage (”The Tryouts”) is a play by Filip Vest about crises, hope, identity, and work. It’s about all the stories we tell about ourselves, each other, and the world we live in – and about other stories that might be possible.
We follow three interns who have been tasked with cleaning up a theatre after a fire. While working, they are accidentally locked inside, and to pass the time, they begin sharing stories from their lives and imagine new tales from the charred remains of the set pieces they find. Meanwhile, they navigate their own tangled identities, both minor and major crises, and the role of art in society.
Playing 20th - 30th of November
