dirty dirty DIRTY ? ! what is actually dirty?! when does something become dirty? life, yes ... life itself is just dirty! or not? Or not? In times of aroma diffusers, lice shampoos, day creams, care robots, and toilet plungers, more and more life seems to be hidden, disguised, or kept hidden ... ? Not now. Take a look at what the grown-up learned to look away from and discover what happens when this life steps out of the shadows into the spotlights of the stage. In Excuses for the discomfort, you balance via stimulating images, live music, and little language on the edge where a fit of giggles, a bit of disgust, a teeny-weeny aversion to what dies, turns into beauty, fascination, and joie de vivre. Alarm bell: This fun, somewhat absurd, and burlesque performance for everyone from four years old can cause adults a moderate feeling of discomfort. ‘life is strong, resilient, beautiful and very ugly’ (Davin Atdenbureau) ‘listen to your heart’ (Roxanne) ‘it takes the smallest sounds to formulate the biggest messages’ (gnome Daisy from ‘keeping it up with misses Daisy) A co-production of FroeFroe, Rif, and Productiehuis Ouroboros.
