CLOSE(R)

CLOSE(R) is a visual and physical reworking of Closer. An unvarnished exploration of desire, honesty, and self-deception in love. We follow Anna, Larry, Alice, and Dan through the years and see them come together, clash, and break. Four people who yearn for recognition, to be seen, but constantly hide behind play, irony, façade, or control. “Where is that love then? I can't see it, I can't touch it, I can't feel it. I hear words, but I can't do anything with them.” In a fragmentary and brutal composition, Tristan Feyten, Dagmar Dierick, Willem Herbots and Margaux Cauliez show the underlying mechanisms in love and intimacy. The loneliness and friction that is inextricably linked to relationships.

Boys, men, fathers, and sons are at a tipping point. Old images of men are being questioned, while new forms of masculinity are still developing. In this program, we explore questions and answers to come together to a healthy, inclusive, and free way to be a man.
