Trouble Score

02.10.25 — 11.10.25

Trouble Score is a witty and disruptive storytelling concert about the hardships of living with trauma and healing from it.

Siblings Luanda Casella and Pablo Casella delve into an old family scandal, a web of fragmented criminal stories, only to unravel an impossible plot. A plot where childhood innocence clashes with the distorted reality of trauma, collected against the backdrop of racial segregation and a military dictatorship.  

With plenty of humour and complicity, Trouble Score captures the fantastic, mysterious, and often hallucinatory nature of family dynamics. The show turns to magic realism to transform negative events into pop songs, coping mechanisms into hyperbolic analogies, and unhealthy patterns into healing mantras.

With Trouble Score, lifelong collaborators Luanda Casella and Pablo Casella return to the roots of their collaboration: the storytelling concert. The show flows in their unique style of arranging multi-layered text, sound samples, pre-recorded and live music in a complex composition. A healing celebration and a symbol of eternal connection.

On their previous show 'Elektra Unbound':

  • Quite brilliant pastiche, full of clever humour and double entendres (...) With her ultratight text, Casella not only exposes the artists' hidden hunger for power and their addiction to human suffering, she also weaves a larger social critique

    , De Standaard (BE), Read the article
  • ‘Hilarious dialogues and grotesque exaggerations (...) Right through the fake drama drills the echo of 2,500 years of lived, authentic suffering.’
