Ciao.

Ciao is a performative collage made up of texts and music developed collectively, revolving around topics such as solidarity, patriarchy, farewells and new beginnings. A performance about bidding farewell to toxic patriarchal structures and to expectations. Including those about the theatre. With a real live choir and music they wrote themselves. And a stand-up comedian. A performance about what they always wanted to put on stage but were never allowed to. A performance that flies free and can be very sad as well. But also a performance about hoping for something new, beautiful and inspiring. A performance about friendship, which can be extremely difficult sometimes. But it is always worth it: because »ciao«, we remember, also means »hello«. 

Note: The production uses stroboscopic lighting effects, which may have negative effects on light-sensitive viewers and loud music.
