Sometimes the feelings take over and grow into a big thing that is hard to talk about. Maja, who is the main character in this show, finds it difficult to talk to those around her, and as Maja’s challenges grow, so do the outside world’s theories about what the problem might be. Well seasoned with things they have looked up online, the list of suggestions becomes long. Is she becoming radicalized? Is she pregnant? Prostitute? In love? Drug addict? WTFIGO?
“What the F**k is Going On” is a story about growing up, being part of a family, and having a problem that needs to be solved in order to survive. It is about insecurity, about the fear of failing, of failing, of not being good enough.
With storytelling and humor, NIE takes us on a journey into the teenage room. In a world filled with love, vitality and joy, there is also great uncertainty and grief over a secret problem.
The performance has been developed in collaboration with the target group, who have also contributed their stories to the action.
