Het Zuidelijk Toneel, Theater Artemis & hetpaleis
In this family show, we see adults racing through their personal lives at breakneck speed. In the little time they have left, they rush from one event to the next. There is flirting, bickering, laughter and tears. In this runaway drama, high peaks and deep troughs alternate at a dizzying pace. All in a feverish attempt to leave an indelible impression.
And all the while, somewhere in the far corner of our field of vision, something else seems to be stirring. It’s agonisingly slow, but something is undeniably happening. Yet these 18-year-olds and older have no time for that. They must carry on! The next distraction is already clamouring for their attention.
Could someone perhaps help them? Is anyone here actually keeping track of what’s going on? Are there perhaps children in the room?
Following the success of Het eind van het begin van het einde (2020), Een leuk avondje uit (2022) and De (2024), Theater Artemis, Het Zuidelijk Toneel and hetpaleis are joining forces for a fourth time.
