Do you talk yourself down? Do you get overwhelmed? Ignored by those around you? Are you envious of your neighbour? Have you done something you regret? Installed an app that took control over you? Do you need to confess, but cannot afford a psychologist? Not Catholic enough to do the sacrament? Instead, unload your frustrations on us. Write it down on a piece of paper - anonymously - and we will give you a scene informed by your torment. The performers on stage handle everyday challenges under the yoke of your anguish. You are not alone. We are in this together.

After the break, we pitch the products you didn’t know you hated, those that do not exist ... yet. Apps exploiting your weakest points. Gadgets replacing humans. You’ll get to see scenes from a world where the products exist. Maybe they are useful for people, maybe the innovation is just harmful to the community.

Our brain is designed to sit around the campfire with our gang, it does not work well alone in front of a screen. That is why Common Sense gives you Protest-Theatre against inhumane algorithms, digital capitalism and ultra-processed food.

We perform in Norwegian and/or English depending on audience preference.
