Against All Odds
Billetter
THE STATISTICAL DESTINY OF 22 CHILDREN
22. November – 16. December, Teater Nordkraft, Aalborg
Winner of Reumert Award 2019 in the category: Performance of the year
22 children between 10 – 14 years relate to their possible future fate based on statistics. Against All Odds is a story about children’s lives and what they could potentially look like as future adults – according to figures and forecasts from several research institutes. It is a projection of the statistics, however brutal and uncompromising.
Against All Odds is based on extensive research. The children on stage are cast based on their background, broadly representing the composition of children in Denmark in relation to social classes and family relations.
