So you think you’re a unique individual. But are you ever truly free from the tyranny of the crowd?
ATRESBANDES takes us on a wild ride in All In, blending striking visuals, physical theatre and absurdist text, to present this darkly playful exploration of the human condition.
Through vignettes set in seemingly disparate worlds—incorporating dictatorships, nightclubs, national anthems, education and self-help manuals—All In offers different incarnations of how we encounter seemingly harmless systems of social control. Everyday situations take unexpected turns into the absurd and poignant, linked by the common thread of an outsider who is subjected to pressures to conform, but seeks nonetheless to assert his independence and freedom.
Presented in collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and with support from Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) through the Programme for the Internationalisation of Spanish Culture (PICE), HOME and Festival TNT.
Just like the Singaporean women that Amanda Heng describes, our “characters” in All In also try to find their place in society, willing to change themselves to be part of the masses.
All In questions the relation between the individual and the masses, and what we are willing to do to be part of the crowd.

“If the thought of living in a sterile 1950s cliché complete with mindless daily duties that rob you of your individuality, personality and soul conjures images of finally snapping and carelessly gliding across a blood-drenched slip-n-slide, then this is the performance for you!” —Hollie Gibbs, CoolCleveland.com
“Amichai’s use of humour and timing allow the audience to sink in to the world on stage, and when that world becomes messy, dirty, difficult and uncomfortable we are right there with them.” —Amy Watson, Platform
