“How are you?”

“I’m fine, considering the circumstances. And how are you?”

“Yes.”


KOMMER is an awkward, spare, painfully funny portrait of human  
frailty in 50% theater and 50% film. 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.
