"Hi. Hello. How are you? I am fine. So fine. Everything is just fine. Welcome to AirElect, I will be your stewardess today, I hope you’ll enjoy your flight!"

The butterfly’s wing and its effects, the camel’s back and the straw, they are telling us the same thing. Have you experienced making a mess in the moment because you were thinking of the future? Falling in the pothole because you were gazing at the sky? Not one by one, but flying headlong forward?

The performance is an eclectic collage of devised writing, ancient text, sound and media, popular and traditional song, the science of System Dynamics and the concept of Creeping Normalcy.

"Fasten your guts, here I come, me and you, you and me, this is fate."

RESEARCH
