This alienating theater experience is a search for the truth behind Mr. Pete. Who is he? And who are we, really? A necessary question in times of algorithms, digitization, and the celebration of our happiness as free individuals. A performance about loneliness, community, and loss of control. Losing grip and feeling alone in it. A shared quest, because Mr. Pete also gets to know himself in short, funny scenes, populated by a colorful parade of characters.

Inspired by the work of Harold Pinter, Samuel Beckett, Luis Buñuel and David Lynch, director Sarah Moeremans and writer Joachim Robbrecht have created a performance about Mister Pete. Lighthearted, crisp, and with sufficient philosophical substance. Generously seasoned with playful joy and inventiveness. Sarah Moeremans and Joachim Robbrecht prove once again that lightheartedness can also be very serious. Or, as Joachim describes the performance: “There's no rhyme or reason to it, or anything to hang on to.”
