Laura the Light & Co.: Star children in the world
It is difficult for the star children to adapt to the world. They breathe and express themselves like the clouds in the sky, the sea on the land, and the stars in the space.
Star children in the world is a show that contains an insane mix of five mini-performances. The mini-performances have been made during the years 2022-2024 and each of their life's challenges and physical blockages has been trembled, distressed, shaken, illuminated. Silliness, homemade, truthfulness, rejoicing, and airing of the beliefs have been and will be presented are now painted with an even bigger brush. There are crazy costumes, magical silk paintings, and limitless creatures that prove the mystery of living. Spaciousness versus the mundane world. Freedom is very close, you can let go. The intention is to make a show, that is at the same time a B-class comedy, a spa for souls, and a chruch of the new era.
