SMILING THROUGH
THE HUMAN
What do we all desperately need right now in this fine dystopian hellscape of ours?
A completely revamped education system? The ability to live authentically? Human connection?
Don't be silly!
We need quirky existential cabaret!

Smiling Through the Human delves into the chaotic, weird and (un)wonderful experience of existing deep inside your head.
Why do I always cry on my birthday?
Why does it feel like I'm living the same day over and over?
...how many times am I going to be recommended to 'get a planner' before I become violent-
Through the eyes of lived experience neurodivergence, and quirky original song, explore what 'humanness' looks like in our strange and inhuman world in a fun and sometimes confronting way.
