“The consequences of every act are included in the act itself,” wrote George Orwell in 1984. This programme could be the basis for a theory of human action, questioning causalities and responsibilities. 

Here, boy meets girl in various scenarios. A watchman faces his own sense of duty in The Guard. A conference in a hotel is a #MeToo challenge between two old acquaintances in How To Be a Human Being. Writing a punk song about a construction worker leads to comical results in Bye, Bye Bowser. 

And then, there’s the frightening void. The brave multi-tasking woman of The Seventh Shift is an almost Jeanne-Dielman-like creature in her lonely routine, but what for? The whodunit at the centre of the clinical procedural drama of The Case of N.N. is a potential crime without punishment. What have you done? Maybe nothing.

Foreword by the programme curator: This is acting, this is what you do – these are the consequences you might face after.
