In ‘Simul Terminus,’ the spectator gets some honest, very engaging, often disarming and moving images from the lives of two residents in a retirement home. They’re both 87 years old, walking together through a field of memories towards their final destination. A funny, sometimes moving dialogue theatre, that takes us into the world of growing older. The setting is the recreation room in a home for the elderly. Not much comfort, a sofa, a few small tables, some chairs, an old radio on a small cupboard or an antique cabinet. A dusty television is standing somewhere in a corner (nobody notices it) and a small gas-stove on wheels, easy to move around.
