Work your ass off, Hee-ha! Hee-ha!
Anna Frijstein
‘You are your work, your work is you. You represent your work, your work represents you’ is one of the performance and instruction film’s slogans, in which a life coach demonstrates how you can be successful at work. It can be watched and applied any time and anywhere: at home, in the office, at the gym, the coffee bar or on the go. Do we work simply for work’s sake? Is working towards a more successful self the actual work? Is this work ethic based on the norm, a sense of duty or perhaps a strong will?

Minimum Wage Dress Code (a variation)
Alina Lupu
What is the etiquette involved in being a food delivery courier? Does one get trained to fit the part? How does one learn to navigate the role and can this role be transgressed? As with any new job, there seems to be an unwritten script which is followed. Be assigned an order, pick it up, give it to the customer, rinse, repeat. This time around though, there’s a glitch in the system and a way of relating which goes beyond the usual.

How to kill a tree
Edward Clydesdale Thomson
The play ‘How to kill a tree’ by Edward Clydesdale Thomson follows the lives of five trees across a 500 year period from the 1550’s. There is an old Sámi belief that certain trees have only just lost the power of voice; Thomson picks up that idea to speculate on just what the trees might say to each other, or perhaps even to us. (Première: 27 June 20:30, Huize Frankendael)
20.00 – 00.00 uur: Afterparty in Tripolis (Burgerweeshuispad 100)
