WunderKinder

Scenography in collaboration with Laura Haapakangas

Premiered August 17th, 2016 at an office space in Helsinki, Finland

teater 90°'s production WunderKinder was a site-specific theatrical performance about aspiration, fatigue and resistance in the workplace. The production was made in collaboration with W A U H A U S and Stage-festival. 

By mixing design aesthetics with contemporary working life discourse, WunderKinder investigates the neoliberal ecosystem, where work seems to have colonized every aspect of life. In a trendy spa-like office a group of young creatives embody the current culture of “hard work” that is beginning to take the proportions of a religious cult. As the pace constantly rises, conflicts escalate, and it becomes increasingly impossible for anyone to “keep calm and carry on”.
