★★★★★ “Fascinating notion as we were inside the heads of these people in a world full of empty-smart concepts like win-win situation, efficiency and teams” – Henrik Lyding, Jyllandsposten

Stress has become an epidemic. Employees secretly meet at work on Sundays, go to the life coach, psychologist and personal trainerto follow the demands of the time. Lots of people go down with stress. What is happening?

We all know the fancy buzzwords: strategy, structure change, mission, vision,, team, flexibility and mobility. Words that are put into the world to give each employee co-responsibility and opportunity for development. But what happens when the borders for responsibility and privacy are wiped out, and the changes in our workplaces come to no end?

OVERLOAD is based on interviews with stress-affected employees in public and private professions. Their reports paint a portrait of the labour market today, with more and more crashes with major human and socio-economic consequences.

Director Liv Helm and composer Matilde Böcher have created a choral work of voices in speakers, which play along with the actors' bodies. A montage of sounds, choruses, voices and bodies that takes the audience on an imaginative journey through the causes of stress and criticism of today's labour market.
