Schiettent

Three brothers have been on the sofa for a year. Their dad has left and their mom is asleep They eat fries every night, they argue every night and they tell each other the same story every night. They have sworn off the world outside their front door after their lives were turned upside down. What happened that night at the fair?

But then. A dance competition is organised, a theft takes place in the supermarket and it is time for the begonias to go outside again. Because no matter how determined you are to want nothing more to do with the world around you: sitting on the couch is not everything.

Upcoming professionals Wessel de Vries (1994) came up with the concept for the performance and wrote the text. He is a third-year student at the writing course at the University of the Arts in Utrecht. He previously received critical acclaim for the striking, lifelike and witty dialogues he writes for theater and film, including De Dansavond and Fast Forward at Meeuw | jonge theatermakers The performance is performed by four young actors who have recently started or recently completed vocational theater training.
