Ten audience members are randomly chosen from the crowd and can decide whether to step on stage or remain seated. Those who accept begin a new life and receive flowers representing their energy: year after year, they decide how to spend it. Love, ambition, security, risk. Every decision creates connections, encounters and conflicts, while the rest of the audience shapes the world around them. When the flowers run out, their life ends. Can they find happiness before then? A participatory, funny and deeply human theatre experience – different every day.
