Luanda Casella, Pablo Casella & NTGent

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.
