Higher. Faster. Further. More. This social mantra already starts at school and continues on Instagram, in higher education and at work. But what happens if we resist this peer pressure, if we press the STOP button and take a break?
If we have a lie in, chill, don´t do anything or do exactly what we feel like doing? How is that compatible with graduation, the search for a profession and work itself? And how can taking a break be a political act?
Choreographer and visual artist Magda Korsinsky teamed up with the rappers Sookee and Alice Dee to create a piece that, by using dance, moves, rap and spoken word, questions social expectations and the “hustle culture” and describes what a world where more breaks are taken might look like.
