Cesena is En Atendant’s more active counterpart. Whilst En Atendant, performed earlier in the week, was created to be performed at dusk; Cesena breaks in the day in more startling fashion. It was originally performed at Avignon’s medieval Palais des Papes at dawn, but is here shown at Sadler’s Wells at the more reasonable time of 7:30pm.

En Atendant is rarely thrilling. It is slow and lacks obvious shape, choosing not to please its audience with clear climax and development. There are few major shifts of energy or scene as it remains calm and considered throughout, requiring patience from its viewers.
