Everything Must Change

An anti-dystopian manifesto by the prestigious Needcompany about failure, effort and the need to change everything

A chorus of eight performers, between movement, voice and music, questions human inefficiency in a loop of effort, failure and resistance. Everything Must Change is presented as an anti-dystopian manifesto, disguised as a stage poem, where the absurd becomes a poetic and comic driving force. In this way, the prestigious Belgian company Needcompany, now at a moment of change, returns to the festival to fill it with a vital energy born precisely from the impossibility of getting anywhere.
