Het Rusthuis of the Bears, Menzo Kircz and Stefan Gota

Het Rusthuis of the Bears is a performance by Menzo Kircz and Stefan Gota in collaboration with Jeff Aendenboom and Ali Can Ünal. It is a visual, musical performance about old circus tricks and toxic learned behavior. About perpetration, trauma and cyclical violence. A performance about breaking expectations and the search for yourself. ENG - There is a house where old circus bears live. A retirement home of sorts, in which the bears try to let go of old habits. But how can you unlearn something if it’s all you’ve ever known? The Retirement Home of the Bears is a piece of visual, musical theater about old tricks, about being both culprit and victim, about breaking the circle of violence and breaking the mould.
