FLOAT
Stories of a World in Transition
The stories in FLOAT delve into the disorientation and fragmentation of our present moment, while also uncovering the possibilities that emerge from the collapse of long-held collective dreams.
Stories of birth, destruction, longing, and resilience interweave personal, mythical, and fictional threads.As the stage blurs into reality and you navigate this fractured dreamscape, you become more than an observer. From chaos, new beginnings arise. Will you linger on the surface or dive into the depths?
The Fool
TextThe Fool is a theatrical storytelling performance that weaves personal memories with literature and music in a raw, intimate way. Inspired by Franz Kafka’s A Report to an Academy, the show explores what it means to adapt, to transform, and to survive in a changing world. At its core lies a tension between freedom and conformity, instinct and intellect, art and survival. With a minimal stage and a shifting presence that moves between theatre, storytelling, and song, the performance invites the audience into a space of vulnerability, irony, and play.
Before I Die
Before I Die is a living storytelling carousel. We share real stories about what it means to be fully present and awake to life. Each performance is shaped from a menu of real-life stories, carefully curated to echo the themes, questions, and moments of a specific place and time. Whether presented in a theatre, workplace, festival, or intimate gathering, the stories adapt to the atmosphere you wish to create, meeting the audience where they are. No two editions are the same, because life never is.
