Every Brilliant Thing

Written by Duncan Macmillan and performed by Jonny Donahoe, the play was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014. “The play’s conceit is simple. In response to his mother’s suicide attempt, a young boy makes a list of all the things worth living for – like water-fights, ice-cream and “things with stripes”. As he gets older the list keeps growing. The magic lies in the way the audience are invited to participate. They are assigned lines and even roles in the story. Almost everyone contributes and a community is created” (Guardian).

In Ferst Dadler's life, creativity, relationships and the events of ephemeral things such as sound and movement were the priority. Creativity as a way of building relationships between people and non-people and developing one's own self-awareness. This promotes connection. And it is precisely the connection with one's own identity that allows us to face the responsibility we have towards others and the context. Ferst Dadler continues a deep dive into social practice, this time alongside the outstanding mezzo-soprano and composer Loré Lixenberg in the performance Konferentse.
