LUCKY

By Maria Lundström

Stories about life in Helsinki

WORLD PREMIERE 10.9.2015

Lucky is an urban story about the quest for happiness and the meaning we ascribe money, work, love, sex and family in our search. The performance questions the romanticized norms of what gives meaning to life and discusses both the fragile and selfish in human beings. What happens when the dream of a different life grows strong and the change is inevitable? What happens when people turn into animals and the relationship becomes a fight for survival? What happens to our coexistence? What happens to love?
