    Please be aware that the bar appearing at the end of the performance, is part of the play.

    The main reason of the bar is an artistic way to bring the show to an end. Transforming the space into a meeting place and creating a relaxed atmosphere which gives you the opportunity to talk about the show you have just seen.

    Though there is no high expectation from our side the bar is not at all a commercial affair. Most of the time it hardly covers the expenses of the beverages and the salaries, sometimes it even causes loss.

    All logistics is resolved by QUE-CIR-QUE.

 QUE-CIR-QUE requires concerning the bar:

    That the 3 persons of the ticket control, which have to stay for security during the show, help push the bar on stage at the end of the performance. It would be convenient for us if you put the same persons on everynight. One or two of them should help to serve at the bar (charged to QUE-CIR-QUE).

    As it is part of the show, we ask them to attend our general rehearsal, which normally takes place the day before our premiere.

    If necessary, we ask you to supply a licence as we sell beer, white wine, red wine, juices and water.

    We only need to arrange to pick up supplies and beer glasses (150 pieces), as already mentionned, we provide the rest.
