Louai Hashem – Saif Salloomi – Mustafa Aldoujaily

IT’S (NEVER) FUCKED UP builds on personal experiences of this collective of young artists as newcomers to this country several years ago. A semi-autobiographical performance about finding your place in a new society in which both positive and negative experiences are reviewed and sometimes tragic situations hide a dose of humor.

This collective hopes to spread a positive message to other young people and wants to inspire those who are struggling to live according to the motto: Keep trying and believe in yourself.
