Work in Progress (2022)
Work in Progress captures the story of two women, whose lives are structured around a central point - their work. In a semi-fictional universe, we observe how the lack of motivation, purpose and utility felt by the two, influences their inner lives and forces them to find ways to withstand the constant pressure. From denial to outrage, from routine to non-conformity, the performers try to put up a fight, in a world that seems to efficiently metabolize their revolt. Sensitive, funny, ironic, serious, the performance is a moving dialogue about the place that work occupies in our society.
