The World Has Been Sad Since Tuesday
A theatre performance filled with movement and magical realism.
A man suddenly gets wings. A group of children get caught in a sea of light. Two people get married, but the bride’s ring finger won’t stop bleeding. Based on three short stories by the master of magical realism Gabriel Garcia Márquez, the question is asked: what happens when man is struck by the great and incomprehensible?
The World Has Been Sad Since Tuesday is a physical performance that plays with the genre of magical realism. We meet characters who experience that which they longed for the most, but absolutely cannot understand. Through subtle, sad and absurd stories, we grapple with the beginning, middle and end of life.
