The Eternal Return – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
The Eternal Return
One day just like the next? Is life just on repeat? In a confined space suspended in time, Clément Layes brings 15 performers together in a series of short, seemingly quotidian movement sequences, setting the machinery of everyday life into motion. Through a tight choreography of loops, he reveals levity and the many facets in what initially appears to be commonplace. As a result, a playful and yet earnest kaleidoscope emerges, exposing something new with each and every repetition.
