Welcome to Cafe Arco. There, we encounter Josephine, a woman whose ordinary and charmless singing creates a sensation. Not so much for her singing but rather because Josephine knows how to create an enchanting atmosphere. Josephine's fame appears to be an escape from a hopelessly laborious life yet even her charisma will not free her from the daily grind. When her people refuse to exempt her from work, Josephine becomes silent. This production aims to provoke thoughts on the place of art and artists as individuals in society. To question the fragile construction of our identities and how we are pulled to pieces by our own social emptiness.
