In a world gone mad, when do you take arms against the sea of troubles?
A diverse, multigenerational ensemble takes refuge in an abandoned theater. Caught in an endless rehearsal, they struggle with the pull between action and distraction on a planet where waters rise, wages stagnate, and visionary leaders are nowhere to be found.

Smashing together two iconic riffs on the Hamlet story – Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull and Heiner Muller’s Hamletmachine – The Assembly excavates the legacy of twentieth-century drama to ask: What’s the good of making theater anyway?
