WUNDERKINDER

teater 90°'s production WunderKinder is a site-specific theatrical performance about aspiration, fatigue and resistance in the workplace. Production is made in collaboration with W A U H A U S and Stage-festival. By mixing design aesthetics with contemporary working life discourse, WunderKinder investigates the neoliberal ecosystem, where work seems to have colonized every aspect of life. In a trendy spa-like office a group of young creatives embody the current culture of “hard work” that is beginning to take the proportions of a religious cult. As the pace constantly rises, conflicts escalate, and it becomes increasingly impossible for anyone to “keep calm and carry on”.
