here we meet

in strange ways

maybe on a bus ride

maybe in a different life

you’ve come a long way

knock knock

to constantly become

what cannot stay

ALL GOOD IN explores the poetics of planned and coincidental encounters in a scenario flickering between the concreteness of the theater room and its imaginary layers.

A group of female performers traverses the microverse of the stage and expands its edges by strategies for entering and exiting. As each of them moves unapologetically on their individual pathway they cross into a complex web of a meeting place.

Here the pragmatic blends with the performative into a poetic, saturated picture puzzle: a timeline in a timeline in a time span that stretches beyond what is happening and our projection of what is to come. A bright, messy world unfolds that is full of humorous surprise, while at the same time the cold reality is knocking on the door.

ALL GOOD IN invites the audience on a journey through overstimulation, ungraspable joy and grief.
