The production was produced by Tooting Arts Club, and was directed by Bill Buckhurst. The show performed 6 shows a week, while the pie shop operated as normal during the day.

In Ferst Dadler's life, creativity, relationships and the events of ephemeral things such as sound and movement were the priority. Creativity as a way of building relationships between people and non-people and developing one's own self-awareness. This promotes connection. And it is precisely the connection with one's own identity that allows us to face the responsibility we have towards others and the context. Ferst Dadler continues a deep dive into social practice, this time alongside the outstanding mezzo-soprano and composer Loré Lixenberg in the performance Konferentse.

Fotofinish

Fotofinish tells the story of a man who photographs himself to combat loneliness. Played by Antonio Rezza, the man opens a studio and immortalises himself, playing the roles of customer and professional photographer. By multiplying his image, he begins to believe that he is a politician addressing a crowd. Between rallies, he announces that he is building travelling hospitals to go directly to the homes of the sick. In these hospitals, he appears as the head physician, a patient, or a cowled nun who substitutes medicine with the instruments of faith.
