In “ZOO” two actors and a musician investigate if it is really possible to meet another human being.

To accommodate such meetings they endeavour in “ZOO” to create a structure that will produce great deviations and errors, as the spontaneous often arises from mistakes, and it heightens the audience’s interest in what is going on. They are invited to meet the people on stage through the incomplete and ever-changing.

Ring the bells that still can ring / Forget your perfect offering / There is a crack, a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in

- Cohen
