1000 Aeroplanes on the Roof by Philip Glass and David Henry Hwang tells the story of M., who claims to have been abducted by extraterrestrials and returns to a world that suddenly feels strange and meaningless.

In this new staging, director Paige Eakin Young, together with performer and musician Mara Snip, opts for a radically different interpretation. With an entirely FLINTA team (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and asexual individuals), a spatial opera emerges about love, care, vulnerability, and being seen.

Through spoken text, carried by Glass’ repetitive and minimalist music, M. reflects on her memories, her sense of otherness, and her transition. Drawing from their own experiences of being trans, director Paige Eakin Young and performer Mara Snip guide you through a playful exploration of desire, shame, and joy.

Tickets: € 10 - € 35
