To Believe in Magic
A performance on the edge of illusion and desire

Is believing in the impossible a matter of willpower, hope, or… is it just delulu? ‘To Believe in Magic ‘is a multidisciplinary magic show in which the desire to believe is put to the test. For her first theatre production Rosa Doornenbal collaborates with performers Dino Desica, Natalie Price Hafslund, and Clara Saito. Together, they crack open the magic box and embark on a journey where expectation, failure, and illusion continuously shift and transform. A magic show that mirrors, twists, and stretches itself, searching for a way to find trust and navigate uncertainty in a seemingly absurd world. Let yourself be swept away by this surreal spectacle that is raw, funny and vulnerable all at once.
