The Hour We Knew Nothing Of Each Other - TNT

There's no point waiting for the dialogue in avant-garde Austrian playwright Peter Handke's unusual but surprisingly involving work from 1992. Twenty-seven actors portray 450 characters in 100 wordless minutes, but it's far from silent as they scurry, lope, skate and dawdle across an urban square surrounded by anonymous concrete buildings. Singly, in pairs, or in groups, they traverse the stage in quick succession — all human life is here. Some (like the urgently copulating couple, the cleaners, the businessman) are realistic, but Puss in Boots and a tablet-toting Moses make a brief appearance too and even Tarzan swings into view. No story is complete, but there's comedy, heartbreak and a sense of doom in this kaleidoscope of carefully choreographed fragments.
