William Boeva: Drift

William Boeva has a problem. He is now so well-known that he is approached always and everywhere. But he remains friendly. That fame makes many things possible but also clashes with a bitter realization: what sometimes goes automatically for him remains a fight for many people with a disability. And that weighs. What if those doors close for him again tomorrow? But in the meantime, something else is bubbling: the desire to let go of the brakes. But is he then no longer a good person? In Drift William figures it out: what do you do with your urges? When are you a good person? When are you allowed to make mistakes? And when are you allowed to just be … human for a while? Honest, recognizable, and above all incredibly funny. You come to watch an apparently perfect performance … until William decides that perfection is primarily an illusion. Photo: Ellie Van den Brande
