Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.

A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
