Oh, and did we mention that Pelle has Tourette Syndrome? Pelle Sandstrak is touring in Scandinavia and lately even in the North-America with his speech "Mr. Tourette And I". A different speech baked into an informative stand up tragedy with a happy end. Bare stage, two chairs, a story told straight forward with physical bodylanguage and verbal impulses. How do you control The Impulse, can The Impulse be controlled, is The Impulse supposed to be controlled - and for whom? Or - as normal as I want to be And - how well can you get before you become too Normal?

Magical rituals, tics, impulses and double-life suddenly got a name and a new possibility. Using absurd comedy and serious information Pelle Sandstrak shows and tells us about all those Strange and magical years, until he got to know what the Strange things was, and became as well as I want to be. "But Pelle, you look quite normal to be a´Tourette kind of...." My answer : "And You look quite ugly to be a Normal kind of...." The speech can be presented in three versions:

1. 3 hours including intermission/coffee break


2. 6 hours education work shop 1 or 2 days ( including version 1)


3. 45 min.- 1 hour ( special designed )

The younger years; strange things happening with my brain and body, school, teenager, family, college, ´what's with that kid ?´
The later years ; examples from the classroom, school, how to behave/not to behave, role-models, therapy methods, motivation, to become as well as I want to be, or - how Normal would you like to be?

The 1 hour version is a shorter mix of the other versions.
