relaxed performance

Mi and Mo are not in a good mood. When they want to hide from everything, the unbelievable happens: they end up in a new, completely strange world. And they are not the only ones. How did this happen and why is it so dark there? Mi, Mo and the others make their way through a bizarre world that is not so easy to find their way out of.

The new play by Leute wie die creates a shared space for young people and adults to explore the topics of mental health and depression. The play can be experienced by a deaf and hearing audience together.
