Lukkari – One week. One class. A hundred feelings.

LUKKARI

K-12

One week. One class. A hundred feelings.

8B's timetable has math, breaks and partner dancing. But between the lines there's much more: insecurity, crushes, pressure, loneliness, tough fronts and attempts to fit in.

Lukkari follows a week in one middle school class, where whispers fill the corridors, power is measured at cafeteria tables, and everyone tries to cope in their own way. Someone hides their fear behind jokes, someone tries to be invisible, someone builds a tougher version of themselves than they really are.

The performance is built from the young people's own texts, scenes and thoughts. On stage, uproarious humor alternates with painful moments and the familiar chaos of school life. When the week's last break comes, something essential starts to surface: maybe no one is as sure of themselves as they let on.

Lukkari is a loud, tender, absurd and honest portrait of youth, just when everything feels at once too big and ridiculously small.

Welcome to 8B.
