About

In a place called Sugarland, one daughter embarks on a quest to find direction for her life and is taking the audience along on her journey. With a father full of despair, she is everything at once: the helpless child worrying about her dad, the rebellious teenager and the far-sighted adult with way too much responsibility on her shoulders.

The interactive play turns out to be a workshop to which the daughter invites herself, her father and the audience. Together they create “sugarlands” – carefree oases without worry – using materials provided and “ingredients” that everyone already has: “memories, hopes and desires, a little courage and a pinch of imagination”.

Over the course of this workshop and her journey through the here and now, together with her father and the audience, the daughter realises two things: that she is not as alone as she had first thought. And that responsibility weighs less heavily once you learn how to let go.
