What to expect

A magician has nothing in his hands and almost nothing in his sleeves.

He does something with butter, newspaper photos, a banana and an orange.

In the finale the magician changes colour.

The performance is about a world stage where things go wrong, but you do not run away.

You keep searching, singing, groping, turning somersaults and falling hard, because all before death is life.
