Everyday life turned upside down! A physical action performance about the unusual experiences in usual life in a completely ordinary residential area... What's really happening on the other side? At the neighbours we already know well and those we do not know? How do the others really live their lives when no one is looking?

DON GNU turns life in an ordinary apartment complex inside out, where a rumour from a neighbor spreads and things you thought were ordinary and boring everyday turn into something very touching and humorous!

In close collaboration with the residents of Høje Gladsaxe and with a large portion of self-irony and a twinkle in the eye, “RESIDENT” places the deepest secrets of ordinary life into public view.

“RESIDENT” turns everyday life upside down and make the media’s often extreme portrayal of reality look like an outdated cartoon, because here the RESIDENTS are the story! “RESIDENT” is the last performance in the DON GNU trilogy about the unusual experiences of ordinary life.
