Naaf - Tal en Thee

With the ‘Wielingers’, everything must roll: wheels, words, and money On the island with the Wielingers, they don't sell ordinary boot-shakers, but shiny nickel stallions. Between all that swirling violence, little Naaf gets lost. Born to become a real Wielinger, but what if nothing ‘rolls’ for Naaf as it should? Neither the words nor the wheels. No way to deal with that little boy who doesn't seem to be able to speak. Fortunately, the oldest eyes on the island think differently about that. The sweet, old Boets watches not only over the water but also over little Naaf, who can only be a real Wielinger under the churning waves. NAAF tells the story of the Wielingers: a community with remnants of a wild fishing existence in their blood, but who have traded that fishing for making ‘steel stallions’. The bewitching bicycle fever on the island finally brings bread on the shelf again and seems to infect everything and everyone, except Boets, an old net-knotter who diligently continues to ‘knot’ against better judgment. But for whom or for what? And why does she seem to be the only one who can really understand little Naaf who doesn't speak a word? A performance about a special friendship in a crazy world! It is necessary that this performance is thoroughly prepared in class beforehand.
