‘Trouble is an interesting word. It means ‘to stir up,’ ‘to make cloudy,’ ‘to 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 this tornado of information and unsettling news? We often feel powerless in the face of all this trouble. Sometimes we would just like to hide and pull the covers over our heads. But: We don’t want it to stay that way! Five performers between 10 and 43 years of age look for ways to deal with the gloomy scenarios we encounter daily on all channels. Can cotton candy, magic tricks or poems by Kae Tempest help? How can we respond together to all the trouble? And how can we become strong without hardening ourselves?
