In POSTO, there is no designated space to sit; everyone finds their wherever place they want in the room. Three large balls invite the audience to join in, to run and dance, and sometimes to stand and watch together.

How do we do this together? How can we have fun together?
The balls will help us. As objects for playing, they invite people to move. Suddenly, a child will cross the room by running. Then it might be everyone running behind a ball, until we all sit in the center and look at planets floating above our heads.

POSTO wants to reflect, through a game—partly to do, partly to watch—on the subtle balance between freedom of interaction and awareness of the group. It is an invitation to participate in a performance, playing on the fine line of agency and always leaving a bit of space for others.

A game about Empathy and the sense of responsibility that developed when we play together.
