A performance about starting and about how difficult it is to end with that. Delightfully absurd with beautiful images.
The performance will start at the beginning.
The first scene will therefore be the opening scene with which the performance begins.
The beginning will be clear.
A beginning. Like: ‘Start’. Yes. That's how it will go.
And then it has begun.
But for now, you have to wait a little while. Until it begins[RB1].
Although you yourself are of course also already busy for a while. For about nine years. Or eight. Or twelve. Or seventy-five.
Or perhaps you just have the feeling that it just won't begin.
And that you are waiting. For the real beginning. When you are later … And also bigger …
Or perhaps you just long for a new beginning?
And sometimes you feel that big people suddenly look at you strangely. With a shiny tear in their eye. Then they suddenly stroke your hair and say: “Oh, if only I were like you. For you, it all still has to begin.”
