“In these turbulent, sorrowful, and sometimes frightening times, Cullen offers a comforting alternative for how to cope with it all.”Theaterkrant

We all fall! is a solo performance in which Danni Cullen combines her skills as both a storyteller and a clown.
Danni plays an aspiring actress who works as a cleaner at Dublin’s Royal Hotel . Cleaners are meant to be invisible, yet they are also spies, quietly witnessing the failures and shame everyone tries to hide.
As Danni scrubs away at others’ messes, stories from her own past bubble to the surface. The joy and the sorrow, the tears and the laughter; they’re really just two sides of the same coin.

“Every anecdote contains a moment that breaks your heart—like her first boyfriend, who dumps her before they’ve even held hands, or her father, who lovingly disapproves of her uncertain career. Danni lets those moments hang in the air, absorbing the audience’s awkward, compassionate laughter. But then, she gently brushes the pain aside –refusing to let it darken the lightness of the room. All to show us: no matter how foolish or painful the rejection, maybe it’s better to find the humor in it, rather than dwell in the gloom.” – Theaterkrant

If you’ve ever stumbled, fallen, or failed… Danni sees you. She salutes you. This is a story to remind you: we all fall!
