To Do - Wunderbaum
The idiosyncratic Wunderbaum pushes the boundaries of theatre with sharp humour and a hefty dose of nerve. The result is playful and provocative shows about topical themes, often from the makers’ own personal perspective.
The same goes for To do, a show about love in an age of the urge to control, and the search for something to hold on to in a world that asks more and more of us. Because life is often one long checklist. Is that a dystopian final image, or a recognisable attempt to get a grip on an increasingly complex reality? In notebooks and digital notes we record our daily worries, deepest desires, greatest fears, scribbled reminders, ambitious plans and things that cannot bear the light of day.
Theatre makers Nastaran Razawi Khorasani and Matijs Jansen write a long, candid to-do list with which they try to make sense of their lives, optimise their happiness, keep their relationships in balance, take the best possible care of their children, reflect on the spirit of the age and not become estranged from the country they live in.
