Trouble Score
25.09.26 — 26.09.26'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.

In the press
Lua's language is chillingly vivid. Carried by the pulse of Pablo's composition, they delve into the shame and violence of the past. Intense. Even before seeing the laser show (...) the entire theatre is used to create an impressive shield between the creators and their personal history (...) Heartbreaking
, De Morgen (BE), Read the articleDespite (or perhaps because of) all the theory, 'Trouble Score' is a sensitive, sensual performance about the finiteness of life. You tremble along with it, in your body and in your mind
Pzazz (BE), Read the articleWith each creation, Casella succeeds in making her erudition and austere choice of form truly theatrical: into something fluid that carries you away (...) ‘Trouble Score’ feels as ritualistic as the rite it depicts
