Kalman's day

Kalman's Day is about the time in life when the characters in the story realise that everything in their lives is just repetition, that there are no more turns to be expected, that there are no more risks to be taken, that they have to preserve what they already have because they don't have the time or energy to start again.

The stories are always the same, they just appear in different lights at different times. Finding the language, the tone of voice, to make these basic stories valid is a powerful motivation for all of us. To bring archetypal characters to life, to make them present, to make them recognisable and identifiable. The aim is to capture the present, to make it identifiable, to make us think further, to give us a point of reference for working through the problems.

The story, our story, is seemingly simple, a small trifle, an infinitely ordinary case, a small matter. But we want to show exactly this tiny thing, because we believe that what is invisible on paper becomes visible on stage, that the tiny thing becomes big, just big enough to be identifiable, to give the viewer a point of reference, a confirmation, perhaps even a consolation.
