The Gate Theatre presents a Rotozaza production
ETIQUETTE
ANT HAMPTON AND SILVIA MERCURIALI
19 - 30 July 2010
GAIL's CAFÉ, 138 PORTOBELLO ROAD, LONDON, W11 2DZ
An intimate experience for two people in a public space.
There is no one watching – other people in the café have no idea what is happening. Instructions delivered via headphones tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned on your table.
"ETIQUETTE explores the gap between language and meaning. In creating an entirely private space in the setting of a café, something extraordinary happens."
THE GUARDIAN
In this private performance the magic of theatre is at your fingertips – all you need do is listen and follow the instructions given.
BEST DONE WITH SOMEONE YOU KNOW – SOMEONE TO SHARE IT WITH.
"gripping…if the line between audience and performer seems blurred, ETIQUETTE erases it entirely"
