Van Die Mensen - Grab 'n Go (premiere)
Werkplaats Walhalla, Rotterdam
Pamela has found her ideal place: the Grab-n-Go, a convenience store at a petrol station. Stocking shelves, mopping floors, encouraged by singing shop products - that's all she needs. But her peaceful utopia comes under pressure when LED screens and self-checkout tills arrive.
Pamela refuses to accept that there is no longer a place for her in the new version of the Grab-n-Go. Until her last day of work, when motorchick Pim tries to get her on board with the rebranding. The performance follows two people with opposite views on change: one clinging to what she knows, the other never still long enough to put down roots.
Grab-n-Go is a music theatre performance about a person who prefers to keep her distance from a world that never stops rushing. Pamela's peaceful inner world - with her three-piece folk band of singing shop products - gradually escalates into a manic techno invasion, ending in the ashes of the Grab-n-Go.
