William Boeva

William Boeva has a problem. He is by now so well-known that he is approached always and everywhere. But he remains friendly. Always has a joke ready. That fame makes a lot possible and at the same time that clashes with a bitter realization: what comes naturally to him sometimes remains a fight for many people with a disability. And that weighs. What if those doors close for him again tomorrow? William feels the pressure to keep pleasing and to make everyone happy. And if he doubts for a moment, he thinks: “What would Jesus do?” But in the meantime, something else is bubbling up. Something that is in everyone: drive. The desire to let go of the brakes. To experience everything he had to miss in his young years. But is he then no longer a good person? In ‘DRIFT’, William figures it out: what do you do with your drives? When are you a good person? When are you allowed to make mistakes? And when are you allowed to just… be human? Is there still a manual, or do we have to rewrite it together? Honest, recognizable, and above all incredibly funny. You come to watch an apparently perfect performance … until William decides that perfection is mainly an illusion.
