About
Each character carries their own desires, expectations and uncertainties. Through a shared everyday routine, their individual journeys unfold as they wait for something that may or may not arrive. Their stories move between hope and childlike innocence, fear, loneliness and failure.
Drawing on the absurdity of waiting and the dynamics of sitcoms, the piece creates a playful yet intimate world in which personal stories, text, singing and unexpected interactions reveal the complexity of human relationships. The audience moves between the characters' individual worlds, witnessing their different journeys and the delicate balance between friendship, expectation and the desire for something more.
