On stage are 22 children between 10 – 14 years. They relate to their possible future fate based on statistics. AGAINST ALL ODDS is a story about children’s lives and what they could potentially look like as future adults –  according to figures and forcasts from several research institutes. It is a projection of the statistics, however brutal and uncompromising.

AGAINST ALL ODDS is based on extensive research. The children on stage are cast based on their background, broadly representing the composition of children in Denmnark in relation to social classes and family relations.
