I must do something. I want to do something. There’s a feeling of tension in the air, a very specific one. What am I going to do? It must be good straightaway. So they think: ‘Yes, that’s it’. Does it actually matter what it is? If you looked with a magnifying glass you’d see the rough edges, the flaws; that’s inevitable… So maybe it should just be left to chance – make it a fluke. After all, everything is joined by coincidence. What is coincidence? A formula, a secret mathematical formula. If you don’t aim straight, you’ll probably miss the target. Still, I’ve only got one go. Every movement counts. Every second. A little bit like with that game, you know, what’s it called. That game where someone makes his hand into a rock, paper or scissors. Very fast, again and again. And you have to take a gamble. Rock! I’ll do it. Go for it. Rock! Right now.

Stephen Shropshire winds himself around the concepts of risk, luck and coincidence and invites Andrea Miller (USA) en Roy Assaf (Israël) to create alongside him for the production Rock Paper Scissors. To be seen: three choreographic works about a game that cannot be won.
