FALLING | IN LOVE

Who are You? You is young, passionate and full of longing, In Diamond City he doesn’t fit into amy mould. In the stone-faced people around him he finds no love. Without any hope, You would just like to sink into the ground.

Then the tarmac beneath his feet crumbles – and You falls into a different reality.

There below, in the lost garden of love, he sees what he has never seen before. That eternal human dream of a better world actually exists. But walled in by traditional normsit has lost all its colourfulness.

Will a young, deaf poet finally find the words that will make beauty and love blossom again in all their colours.

FALLING | IN LOVE is a fantasy in bloom. As dreamy as it could ever be.

For the New York Times, our grand shows are an absolute ‘must-see’! A total of 100 artists from 28 nations on the world’s largest stage, so beautiful it’s hard not to fall in love.

What might interest you and your pupils:

FALLING | IN LOVE is about exclusion, retreating into one’s own bubble and rejecting anyone who’s different. It is about conformism, diversity, variety, respect and the power of language (poetry).
The message is that in an ideal world, all colours (cultures, lifestyles) are able to shine.

What would it be like to wake up in a world of happiness? When Luci opens her eyes, she is surrounded by her most beautiful unlived dreams. The magnificence of this dream world is simply breathtaking; her old life is nothing but a distant echo. Every breath Luci takes is like a brush stroke and every space that opens up is a symphony of unimagined possibilities. And before her stands the man of her dreams.

A new beginning, her imagination whispers. Dreams can be dashed, reminds reason. Her dream man senses that Luci, blinded by so much happiness, may not trust him. But he knows they will only have a chance if they allow their two worlds to merge. He fights with all he has for the love of his life. Luci faces the fundamental question that we must all ask ourselves at some point: Should we remain realistic or do we have the courage to live our dreams?

BLINDED by DELIGHT is a reminder of happiness that overwhelms all the senses. And who knows, maybe at the beginning of every change there is a dream that wants to be held on to and not to slip away.

The word BLINDED describes how Luci is entirely overwhelmed by her emotions. DELIGHT refers to
the intoxicating, almost ecstatic feelings that she experiences. Luci is so caught up in the happiness
of her dreams and her romantic feelings that she wonders whether it can all be real or will vanish in
the next blink of an eye.

Is it all lies or love? BLINDED by DELIGHT expresses this emotional dichotomy. A passionate dance
of powerful emotions.
