They are young actors at the end of their theatre education. During their school time they’ve been taught how to create different emotions on stage, how to be credible, how to take on a character and become someone else. They’ve learned techniques of shifting and transitions, of masking, of empathy and internalization. And sometimes also of just being themselves.

Now it’s the day of their final audition. They have to go on stage to present, expose and to sell themselves. To show what they have learned. To prove that they can transform, that they can create the illusion of reality and that they can make the audience believe. 

They go on stage to tell the audience who they are and who else they can become. 
It’s the day of the market.
