Made in children
Collaboration with Ásrún Magnúsdóttir and Alexander Roberts
Standing together on the stage, ten children aged between eight and twelve years old are left with a world that is not of their making. Taking to the stage to dance, make music and spend some time together talking – these children are met by a world of melancholy, pessimism, romance and confusion that they inherited but never asked for. On the borderline between deep despair and an extreme optimism – these children are set loose on the stage in search of an ambitious ethics, a profound inner peace and a glimpse into a better future.
Artistically led by Alexander Roberts, Ásrún Magnúsdóttir and Aude Busson
