Table rase

Description

What if improvisation were to stop trying to do everything right? With "Table rase," the theater group Slalom dives headfirst into the world of absurd theater and transforms failure, confusion, and misunderstanding into genuine driving forces of the play. Inspired by Beckett, Pinter, or Ionesco, the piece depicts characters entangled in shaky logics, impossible-to-adhere-to rules, and systems that seem designed never to work. Here, words bring no clarity. On the contrary: they confuse, distract, and complicate matters. Language becomes a slippery terrain on which everyone tries to maintain balance as best as they can. Watching the performers struggle with sometimes impossible constraints makes for much laughter. But behind the absurd, very real questions also emerge: questions about our powerlessness, contradictions, and the mechanisms that overwhelm us. An equally chaotic and intoxicating theater experience where the fear of creation becomes a delightful form of poetry.
