Everything's not okay, but it works out anyway
We are willing to risk everything to get a little closeness. But what do you do when your body is both your best friend and your worst enemy?
Oxytocin is a play about being a human of flesh and blood, the reality of ordinary life told through puppets. The performance takes place in the narrow streak between childhood and adulthood. It’s about the first kiss that didn’t go as planned, facing death for the first time while on your extra job in home care and how to help someone who is hyperventilating from anxiety.
A depiction inspired by interviews with people of different ages and their experiences of, and the relationship with, the body and its changes. About puberty, sex, and aging. About being afraid while longing and feeling curious in the same moment as being repulsed. Embedded in a recognizable everyday life, that contains both vulnerability and cruelty, the grandness in life ‘s littleness is unfold.
