A confession that looks away nowhere
Over Johan Heldenbergh we can already say one thing: he goes to the extreme for every role he takes on. Also in this monologue, it is spot on again. Heldenbergh asks himself here how you can continue to feel, think, and speak when cynicism threatens to paralyze you? He asks the question, fillets the answers, and looks away nowhere.
B.I.G.T (But it's getting there) is an intense confession about guilt and disappearing ideals, about the importance of small words and small deeds. About despair and the fragile hope that continues to light up, precisely when it seems too late. Carried by live music, he explores what it essentially means to be human.
A performance that comforts, chafes, and wakes up.
