A light-hearted story about common human interactions. The title bench represents random, mundane encounters we experience throughout our lives: on public transport, in the street or at a restaurant. The performance highlights these imperceptible duels, the subtle battles we engage in everyday: for a window seat on the train, a free table in the non-smoking area or a restaurant table with a nice view. An encounter of two individuals on a park bench turns here into an amusing story in which initial awkwardness, sly glances and mutual distaste lead to more and more absurd developments and a surprising conclusion.
