Arno Schuitemaker

Work

Monday

Premiere October 6th, 2026 - Atelier de Paris, Paris

What if Monday isn’t the beginning of the week, but the aftermath of a choice we haven’t made yet?

Normally, a footprint follows a step and an echo follows a sound. The performance turns that familiar order around. Four performers move and sing in reverse.

Monday, seemingly just another day, lets us temporarily stand on the far side of a future consequence and look back at the present differently. Not to undo what has happened, but to change how we understand the actions that are still ours.

An ordinary moment on an ordinary day holds the possibility of altering what follows.

Nothing starts without a trace.
