The news has been terrible for months, years: scary news all the time from every direction, every continent, even from the silly little towns you’ve never heard of. But like most of us, she chose not to look too closely. A deep dive into the state of the world felt like a one-way trip with no return. Surely the “official people” had a plan…

One a Lot is an apocalyptic drama about a lone survivor who finds herself in a concrete basement, recounting how she watched the world burn. With her voice, she builds a universe of loops and songs: a sonic end of days.

Good to know

  • The performance is English spoken.

And then one day the sky went orange. Beautiful color. I love burnt orange… but in an interior design kinda way. Preferably not in the sky.

Interview voor O. festival
'De voorstelling gaat minder over het bekende noodpakket en meer over het mentale. “Wat heb je nodig als al het contact wegvalt? Het personage voert gesprekken met zichzelf om die verbondenheid na te bootsen. De echte vraag is: wat zit er in jóúw mentale noodpakket?”'

About the maker

Amanda Payne is an English-Dutch librettist and performer based in Amsterdam. Her work explores musicality in speech, combining her vocal practice with text-driven theatre. She creates language-centered performances in which rhythm and repetition shape character and narrative. Working across playwriting, poetry, opera and performance, she develops hybrid forms she describes as “spoken operas” – through-composed dialogue that blur the boundary between speaking and singing.
