Built from stories collected in Switzerland, England, Pakistan and the Netherlands, the piece weaves anonymous testimonies into a polyphonic landscape where the intimate becomes collective, and the everyday reveals its political weight.
On stage, an ever-shifting architecture of cardboard boxes – remnants of our consumer society – frames a performance in constant transformation. As Arnold & Komarov Travelling Theatre perform, CickinDunt draw live portraits of the audience, turning the theatre into a temporary gallery.
Tender, humorous and at times unsettling, LOVE**WORK holds contradictions side by side: purpose and exhaustion, care and survival, desire and duty. It invites audiences into a communal space where personal histories resonate across borders, and where the question of how—and why—we work and love is shared and reimagined together.
