Excuses voor het ongemak

a dirty 4+ performance

Lives lives LIVES? !
What is actually gross?!
Wanneer wordt iets vies?
Life, yes...
Life itself is just dirty!
Or not?

Or not? In an age of aroma diffusers, nit shampoos, day creams, care robots, and toilet unblockers, more and more life seems to be hidden away, disguised, or lurking in the shadows…? Not for now. Take a look at where the grown-up world learned to look away, and discover what happens when this life steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight of the stage.

With titillating imagery, live music and minimal language, you teeter on the edge where a fit of the giggles, a touch of disgust, and a smidgen of aversion to death give way to beauty, fascination, and joie de vivre.

Alarm bell: This fun, slightly absurd and burlesque performance for everyone aged four and up, may cause adults a mild sense of discomfort.
