All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey… A turbulent serenade about living together.
In Tillsammans, 13 young creators/players from KASK Drama, under the direction of player collective Camping Sunset, play the story of a Swedish commune from the 1970s. The rules are simple: Pippie Longstocking is a capitalist, washing up is bourgeois and porridge is the delicacy. But love is free, the children belong to everyone, and everyone belongs!
For eight weeks, this occasional community allowed fiction and reality to blend. Living and working together turns out to be anything but obvious, yet much needed. How do you put 13 different opinions side by side? How do you avoid getting into each other's hair? Or do you? And who does the washing-up at the end of the day? Collectivity, conflict and a bit of communism. A quest for togetherness against the odds. Because only love remains, that's all there is.
Tillsammans is an exuberant location project by third-year Drama students at KASK & Conservatory and Camping Sunset. The playing field is NTGent's city theatre. Together, they will tackle the methodology à la Sunset: choosing a play in a few weeks' time, adapting it and exploring it as much as possible on the floor. The idea behind Camping Sunset is as simple as it is radical: an actor only really learns to play by playing a lot, in front of and with an audience.
