Sweet Addictions

We invite you to reflect: What things we own end up owning us?

The word « addiction » became widely used, despite being a strict medical term. Nowadays the main reason people become addicted to something is to avoid anxiety, heavy thoughts, problems of real life, emotional stress, etc.
The dramatic contemporary show is open to your interpretations and thoughts. Stage, music, and our bodies – that is all we need to tell you a hundred fascinating stories and make you gasp.

The idea of « Sweet addictions » was nurtured for a year. It is a very personal work, rooted in the desire to understand people and their feelings. We conducted artistic research by asking people about their dependencies and revealed new contemporary ways to escape reality.

My aim was not to show different addictions but to study the emotions lying underneath. How does the soul feel while being dependent? We did many physical experiments to find a proper expression of it. Despite addictions being a serious topic, we did not want to turn the performance into a dramatic-only experience. There are many fun moments to reduce the pressure of topic importance. Humor also helps to look at it as it was another comical part of life, it makes difficult themes bearable.

A theatre show that was staged in 4 months will not make a person get rid of an addiction if he has one. But it could inspire, bring new thoughts, immerse into the topic, or help to live through the new situations. We love to study complicated emotions. And together with our audience, we will try to find a way out of addictive behavior.
