"Trouble is an interesting word. It means to stir up, make cloudy or disturb"
(Donna Haraway: Staying with the trouble)
We have made clouds and expose ourselves to storms. We ask: How do we remain stable in the eye of the tornado, in this whirlwind of information and disturbing news? We often feel powerless in the face of all the trouble. Sometimes we would like to hide away and pull the covers over our heads. But we don't want it to stay that way!
Inspired by stories and characters from the magical land of Oz, five performers aged between 10 and 43 are looking for ways to deal with the gloomy scenarios we encounter every day on all channels. Can cotton candy, magic tricks or poems by Kae Tempest help? How can we react to all the trouble together? And how can we become strong without hardening ourselves?
