Walk in my shoes is a storytelling project where the younger and older generations come together and get to know each other through theater exercises, storytelling, and personal reflections. The group shares sad, funny, and perhaps unexpected stories from their lives, exchanges them, and brings them to life together with professional theater creators.

Our categorizations of people and groups create distance, alienation, and loneliness, often based on fear of the unknown. The involuntary loneliness of our time often leads to mental and, ultimately, physical suffering. "Walk in my shoes" aims to offer a chance to break the isolation, allowing the storytellers to share life experiences and create meaning and hope for themselves and the audience.
