The performance Barter by Studio 1 of PLAVO Theatre was created as a result of the second stage of the process called Flabbiness of spirit. The first phase ended with the performance Resetting, which represented a kind of attempt to reconnect with oneself, while this second phase should enable a deeper and more sincere connection with others, all in search of humanness.

We observe the world around us and it seems that humanness is rapidly disappearing. The battle between youth and soullessness is currently being fought in Serbia. Youth may win, or not, but those who enter middle age, experience deep powerlessness before the questions of the meaning and value of their own lives and choices. The only unquestionable value is in the community into which we willingly withdraw and in the mutual exchange of humanness.

Barter is at the same time a celebration, dedicated to the thirtieth anniversary, which PLAVO Theatre is celebrating this year.
