In Sweden we say “A dear child has many names”, and that fits very well in this specific case. After 3 years with the working title TICK TACK, and with many hundred name suggestions along the way, the new production show finally gets its official name GLITCH.
Wikipedia’s description of the word GLITCH:
“A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. It is often used to describe a transient fault that corrects itself, and is therefore difficult to troubleshoot. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature.
The term derives from the German glitschig, meaning ‘slippery’, possibly entering English through the Yiddish term glitch.[“
