A piece on identities in transition, a performance concept for non-professional performers that enables them to do a professional performance – FiD is all of that.
post theater has worked with performance-manuals for professional collaborators in order to allow both a solid structure to a piece and yet freedom within the rules provided by the manual. In “FiD” for the first time non-professional performers are confronted with a performance manual. Anyone can work with this manual and create a performance about fish and themselves in transition.
Fish is a symbol for transitory states. Fish can change from herbivore to carnivore, from sweet water to seawater. Some fish can even change their sex. People often are in such transitory states – especially teenagers, or senior citizens after their retirement. Anyone who is changing his or her stable position is a good candidate to join “fish in you”.
