Compagnie Cecilia - Bowling Buffalo

Split happens 1994. Kurt Cobain dies, the PlayStation is released, and in an unremarkable Flemish village, four girls are born. In their teenage years, they start helping out at Bowling Buffalo and at thirty years old, all four of them still work there. Meanwhile, they have started to become part of the permanent furniture. They still smell like teen spirit and still play Crash Bandicoot while they bicker about their loose love lives, drink milkshakes, and smoke cigarettes. When one of them announces her departure out of nowhere, a story unfolds about ambition, loyalty, and whether or not to pursue dusty dreams. All those years, the four women have lived in a wonderful sense of timelessness, under the dimmed light of the retro bowling decor and their own unbridled imagination, but now that someone has unexpectedly dragged in the concept of ‘finiteness’, all the pins fall in record time. Extra: The performance is introduced at 7:15 PM 'Bowling Buffalo' is a Wildcard performance by Compagnie Cecilia. She draws a Wildcard for non-own projects she believes in, and gives the creators all her production assets to realize their performance. Cast: Lien Thys, Hanne Timmermans, Annelore Crollet (film 'WIL' from 2023) & Kiana Porte Tekst and direction: Daan Borloo
