Can you spend spare time? When is one a big spender? How do you spend spare time? How do you spend your spare time? Do you like to play? Sports? Do you work? Out? Do you go to the gym? I’m pretty sure I saw you there...
In SPARE TIME WORK buren musically approaches thoughts and ideas on (reproductive) labour and leisure. They explore class and growth with the help of characters like Adult Hood and Young, Cleaner, Grown Woman and Office Worker. Drenched in different colour spheres they investigate a variety of (power)relations, economical desires and social realities. All while being surrounded by the inner and outer voices of (personal) histories and radio, internet and television. In what way is our ‘day and age’ telling us what to be, where to stand and what to do? Who is carrying the dogma, codes, laws and what systems are at work?

In SPARE TIME WORK benadert buren musical-gewijs gedachten en ideeën over (reproductieve) arbeid en vrije tijd. Ze verkennen klasse en groei met behulp van personages als Adult Hood and Young, Cleaner, Grown Woman en Office Worker. Ondergedompeld in verschillende kleursferen onderzoeken ze een verscheidenheid aan (machts)relaties, verlangens en realiteiten, omringd door de interne en externe stemmen van (persoonlijke) geschiedenissen en radio, internet en televisie. Op welke manier vertelt onze ‘dag van vandaag’ ons wat we moeten zijn, waar we moeten staan en wat we moeten doen? Wie draagt de dogma's, codes, wetten en welke systemen zijn er aan het werk?
