It grows and grows and...
In the future, our food will taste different and our cats will be fatter. There will be more different itemsmore work and unicorns. Fairy tales, appetite, poop and the number on the cake will also be bigger. And the children will be bigger, and they will be they could go out on their own. There will also be new people. There will be disappearing and appearing. And goodbye to my family.There will be something ahead (and it may come very soon). And I don't know how many other thingsproblems and pleasures. But something will happen. ( Collection of thoughts Performers Families about the future)
What grows as we grow? How will our immediate surroundings, relationships and everyday life change in the future?

In a sensitive and simple way, primarily using movement, not a word, the performing families talk about the fact that children grow up and adults age. They also touch the uncomfortable and topics rarely discussed in public discourse, such as how much patience parenting requires, how demanding it iseconomically and psychologically. All this in a very witty and gentle way - Justyna Czarnota's statement after the work-in-progress show (Obserwatorium Sztuki dla Dzieci, October 2022)
