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.
