Airport Kids
Synopsis:
Third-Culture-Children, also referred to as Trans-Culture-Children (TCCs) or World Nomads, spend much of their young lives in cultures and countries not their own. they are displaced young persons, sons and daughters of well-healed refugees and employees of multinational corporations. they attend international schools where the language is english, though many of them speak several languages and carry three passports. Since the term was coined in the '60s by Ruth Hill Useen, the lives and subcultures of these young people have been the subject of extensive research. the one trait they share is a complex concept of terms like 'home' and 'nationality' that differs considerably from anything found among the less mobile members of the global population. In airport Kids, there are Chinese, Brazilian, Canadian/French, angolan, Romanian, Moroccan, Indonesian, Indian and Irish children, all of whom live in Switzerland at present, but follow their parents all over the globe, make and lose friends every couple of years and come from privileged backgrounds. Patrick got his first credit card when he was ten. Still, if one is expecting to find a bunch of brats, dysfunctional and superior, one will be surprised. these kids are pluricultural; they are vocal; they are lonely and in the show they each have their own baggage container, a cramped metal space to call home, a place of privacy where they can keep their most cherished possessions. One has a drumkit, another pet snails, a third a tennis racket, a fourth an accordion. their containers are moved around the stage and they emerge to tell part of their life stories and return to the safety of their own individual, mobile space. they form a rock band and appear in video projections on the side of each others containers; they share with us their experience of the past and their vision of the future.

Outdoors
Synopsis:
National theatre Wales is joining forces with Berlin's pioneering reality theatre-makers Rimini Protokoll to create their first UK commission in aberystwyth. For 'Outdoors' two groups and two traditions are taken apart and set together in a new order: the group of a local choir with its powerful tradition of joining the same lines and taking breath in the same millisecond and the audience group: hundreds of people all coming to the same place at the same time and looking in the same directing without talking. What happens if both parties are split up in individuals who start whispering, follow traces to the backdoor and meet OURDOORS virtually or personally? Multi-award-winning Rimini Protokoll is based in Berlin and is recognised as being among the leaders and creators of the theatre movement known as 'Reality Trend". each project begins with real people in a specific place, and is then developed through an intense exploratory process. Performed once a week for a year, Outdoors will premiere in February 2011. audiences will assemble at a secret location and be taken on a singular journey with a joyful collective finale.
