“As the performers repeat their lines and gestures, words and movements begin to inflect and overwrite each other, changing how they are interpreted both by the performers, and how they are read by us, the witnesses to this scene of a contract in the process of breaking down. What opens up is a space in which the theater we all perform time and again in our daily attempts to negotiate our relations with others, appears in all its beauty, as genuine but with fraught efforts, absurdity, and humor.” Excerpt from an essay on Johanna Ekenhorst by Anik Fournier
