ROGER is a performance about the dynamics of power that shape everyday life. Built on the relationship of a trio of performers who are also close friends, it draws the audience into a space where leadership is constantly shifting through a series of physical games and tasks. In these interactions, the piece raises questions about how we decide whom to trust, what it means to lead or to follow, and how care and control can coexist. Through play, negotiation, and risk, ROGER explores influence, vulnerability, and the intimacy that comes from relying on others.

The theme is simple yet deeply human. What is the cost of holding power over someone you care about, and what does it require to give that power away? On stage, the trio communicates, challenges each other, agrees and disagrees, yet always finds a way forward. The performance highlights the strength of the individual within the group, showing that bonds are built as much through friction and difference as through harmony. In times when autonomy often translates into isolation, ROGER turns toward closeness, proposing trust as something to be shared rather than defended.
