EVERYTHING´S NOT OKAY, BUT IT WORKS OUT ANYWAY
We are willing to risk everything for closeness. But what do you do when your body is both your best friend and worst enemy? Oxytocin is a play about being a human of flesh and blood—told through puppets. It takes place in the narrow streak between childhood and adulthood. 

Inspired by interviews with people of different ages, it explores experiences of, and the relationship with, the body and its changes. About puberty, sex and aging. About being afraid while longing and feeling curious in the same moment as being repulsed. Embedded in a recognizable everyday life, that contains both vulnerability and cruelty, the grandness in life ‘s littleness is unfold.
