Normality No More – Schuberts Winterreise revisited

What is it like to step into the shoes of people who are considered ‘strange’? In ‘Normality No More’ – a fusion of musical theatre, modern dance and classical music – three top companies dissect Schubert’s ‘Winterreise’ and rebuild it into pulsating electropop, hypnotic glissandi and Surinamese dance rhythms. The performance is a call for empathy for people who experience the world differently than the masses. All dancers, musicians and actors play a character inspired by personal experiences and scientific research into neurodivergence. Where are you on the spectrum?
