What the F**k is Going On

Sometimes emotions get the better of you and grow into a big thing that's hard to talk about. Maja, the main character in this performance, finds it difficult to talk to those around her, and as Maja's challenges grow, so do those around her theories about what the problem might be. Seasoned with things they've looked up online, the line of suggestions becomes long. Is she in the process of being radicalized? Is she pregnant? A prostitute? In love? A drug addict? WTFIGO?

"What the F**k is Going On" is a story about growing up, about being part of a family, and about having a problem that needs to be solved in order to survive. It's about insecurity, about the fear of failing, failing, not being good enough. With storytelling and humor, NIE takes us on a journey into the teenage bedroom. In a world filled with love, vitality and joy, there is also great uncertainty and grief over a secret problem.
