TRASHedy

How many plastic cups do we use in the course of our life? 

Two performers explore the story of our peculiar evolution and dig into the complexity of the topic of ecological intelligence. Along the way, new questions are raised and a steadily growing pile of trash builds on the stage. 

Using a mix of animated drawings, dance and soundscapes, TRASHedy takes an honest and humorous look at our freedom of choice and consumerism.

Because everything we do has an influence. Somewhere. 

For ages 11+ and their families

Presented in partnership with Brighton Festival

 

A production by performing:group and tanzhaus nrw in association with Take-off: Junger Tanz. Also supported by the Kunststiftung NRW.
