Dilemma
Dilemma is a dialogue between two people about great and small life decisions. While resolutions don’t seem to be found, the act of listening for the other opens up possibilities for another way of being.
Dilemma is a performance about conversation, hesitation and the difficulty of making choices. A chance encounter between two friends, or maybe lovers, or only remotely connected people evolves into a subtle dialogue pondering great and small life decisions. During the performance the discussion flows through various subjects, goes in circles, is interrupted and drifts again and again towards unresolved questions.
