Birthday Stories
For some, a birthday is a big celebration filled with joy and excitement. For others, it is a day best spent with a small circle of loved ones or even alone. Some people love their birthdays, while others feel quite the opposite.
On November 12, at SKENE, we invite you to explore these feelings and experiences together.
Do we welcome getting older with joy, or do we resist it?
What do we wish our birthdays would be like, and what happens when reality doesn't meet our expectations? Which birthday was our most memorable, and which left us disappointed?
When do we feel lonely, even when surrounded by people? And why can a small gathering of close friends sometimes bring us so much happiness?
Is a birthday just another ordinary day, or does it mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another? Or perhaps there is an even more meaningful day in our lives — a day when we felt as though we were born again.
Come and share your stories, memories, emotions, and dreams. Tell us about the traditions and rituals that make this day special to you, and we will bring your stories to life on stage.
