2' Life changing minutes

Synopsis

Emily skipped her lunch today and grabbed a couple of donuts. Caesar never skips lunch - nor dinner, nor supper, nor teatime or snacks throughout the day. Charlie doesn’t seem to find the right running shoes to a much-needed jogging. Joachim is a fit “weekend marathonist” so he cannot be bored with useless medical screenings. Marge wouldn’t dream of confronting ‘Papa‘ with his nasty cigar habit, not at his age, and certainly not at Christmas gatherings.

Choice and change. If everyday life is a struggle with the intuitive nature of choice and the drive not to change, can any facts alter this? Is scientific proof good enough, or do we need something else? Are we looking for answers? Do we even want to be defied by questions on our lifestyles? This show is about the excuses we give every day to refuse change and ignore the choices of a healthier life.
