The actors of the Amsterdam-based theater collective Kassys use precise movement and a deadpan delivery to create a stilted world on stage, where six people gather to mark and ponder the loss of a dear friend. Each person tries to absorb the news and give relief to the others, but the well-meant words and gestures often seem misplaced: they reflect the inherent discomfort of the situation, stuck between tenderness and cliché. In the second half of the performance, the actors leave the stage and the audience gets to catch a glimpse of their “real” lives, as they go out into the night after the show.</FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">To make a reservation, please call 518.276.3921 or go to </FONT><A href="http://www.empac.rpi.edu/"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0018E8" face="Arial">http://www.empac.rpi.edu</FONT></A><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">/.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"></FONT></P></BODY></HTML>
