cops stop you
fight flight freeze
bomb in your street
fight flight freeze
parents pull each other's hair out
fight flight freeze
climate crisis at home
fight flight freeze
make America Racist Again
fight flight freeze
far right wins elections
fight flight freeze
Akosua, Kwabena, Li Wei, Olga, Ahmed move into your street
fight flight freeze
China becomes the new world leader
fight flight freeze
AI is in control
fight flight freeze
dark street, someone calls, someone whistles
fight flight freeze

For some people, life runs like clockwork. 
But not for us. We fight a battle every day.
Our reptilian brain wants only one thing: to survive.
How do we find our way out of this turmoil?

Simple: put thirteen artists on a stage with different talents and profiles, ranging from adhd, autism and trauma to epilepsy and high sensitivity. Together, let them transcend all the shit and overcome the chaos. To then go out and change the world.
