In  One More Thing, Adi Boutrous strives to convey a state of listening,  solidarity and support for the other. The use of force, carrying,  devotion to a body, and the shapes of a structure based on a rite of  passage, express the relationship between individual and group. In their  reflection, the work reveals further layers of masculinity, the  potential of synchronization, and a common destiny.

One  More Thing is a co-production of Adi Boutrous, Théâtre de la Ville –  Paris and fabrik Potsdam. The work is supported by The Foundation for  Independent Creators founded by the Ministry of Culture and Sport and  the residency program at the Arab – Jewish community Center, Jaffa.
