“Welcome to Baywatch. Our team is the elite of the elite. We’re the heart and soul of this very beach. We protect when other people don’t want to protect, and we go above and beyond.”
BAYWATCH is a visit to a beach where two lifeguards are killing time. Two actors borrow the costumes, names, and cast of the old ’90s TV series in a conversation that moves between life’s trials, gossip, philosophical reflections, and completely everyday observations. The audience is seated in deckchairs, and it’s as warm as a day in July.
The piece by Freja Hallberg is based on a long process in which the actors Mattias Lech and Jenny Möller Jensen have explored the poetic potential of everyday conversation and what it means to truly listen and get to know each other on a deeper level.
BAYWATCH is a personal and unfiltered conversation where the audience gets the chance to eavesdrop.
The performance lasts exactly 2 hours with no intermission; refreshments are available.
Performed in English on Jan 30 & Feb 20!
