Ultra-cute content steals the spotlight in this endearing new performance premiere.

Beijing and Utrecht-based theatre maker and artist Ran Chen has mined the internet to discover what cuteness does to our hearts, minds and society - one panda video at a time. Starting with the first ever recorded image of a panda, Chen brings together her ongoing fascination with cuteness and her unorthodox research from a very personal perspective, ignited during the pandemic.

Is digital cuteness a way to stave off loneliness and isolation? Could it be more than just a personal obsession? Why are we so hypnotized by cuteness? How old is too old to be obsessed with Miffy and Hello Kitty?

Don’t miss this limited performance season full of heart, humour and biting cultural insight.
