The Darndest Things 
Resolution Festival 2025 London 


What do you want to be if you grow up?


The naivety and wonder of children crashes into the crushing realities of climate change, political upheaval, and looming threats of war to ask: can kids just be kids? Inspired by the works of Crystal Pite and Pina Bausch, The Darndest Things collides joy and dread to paint a picture of an unsettling future.

​"...a work replete with laugh-out loud moments...the gestural and expressionist choreography was boldly descriptive, and the diverse lighting effects were impressive"
