Under the Clock

Outdoor performance for both adults and children

UNDER THE CLOCK humorously, touchingly, poetically and absurdly exhibits people's mischievous encounters - all the awkward situations where we try to meet, are involuntarily thrown into a meeting or discreetly try to avoid meeting.

Meeting between people is one of the things we depend on the most. At the same time, coming into contact with each other and having equal meetings can be one of the worst things for us.

UNDER THE CLOCK unfolds in a station and consists of a mosaic of encounters between people who are either under the clock or passing by for very different reasons. Some are really there to meet someone. Others pass by to catch a train. Still others bump into each other randomly. In addition, there are all those who work at the station, have an errand there or have their regular visit to the station.

The gallery of persons includes pressed commuters, busy businesspeople, dirty backpackers, stressed parents, runaway children, stilt walkers, train drivers, kiosk owners, tradesmen, cleaners, drunkards, lonely existences, pickpockets, policemen and couples in love.

UNDER THE CLOCK is performed in Dansk Rakkerpak's comedic, physical and non-verbal playing style. As always, the theatre's timed, musical and action-packed playing style puts things on edge and is laced with a good dose of humor.
