THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Theater/Performance Social/Urban Movements Theatre & Performance

Humans have been stockpiling things for more than 2 million years. Things are produced, collected, hoarded, and listed. Things satisfy needs. äöü take a look, back and forward. Towards all the things that belong to us, towards all the things that are lost, towards all the things we will probably never need but that could save us. And another, and another, and another. Our bodies are among those things. In a quest for new relations, the group gathers to compile a utopian inventory. At the centre stands a medicinal well that never dries up, an improbable space where all, really all things meet.
