In this playful and poetic dance theater performance, past and future meet in the now. Two living rooms rotate on their axis. In one room, a boy tries to find his place among the moving boxes. The other room is the home of an older woman who surrounds herself with precious memories. Both look in a different direction: the boy dreams forward, the woman looks back. But neither of them really takes a step. A humorous and playful performance about generational differences with dance, acrobatics & text Gradually, they discover that there is more than their own living world. Routine gives way to curiosity, and without realizing it, these two opposites nudge each other out of their familiar walls. ‘POR’ shows a unique clash and fusion of generations, in which memories and dreams eventually give way to the power of the here and now. From the press: “A gentle, moving dance and circus theater performance about the difference in clock and (lived) time. Yet this dance with the timepiece turns out differently than you expect, because the inventive decor is used in a mobile and meaningful way.” (De Volkskrant, ★★★★) “Theatermaker Jonas Vermeulen and choreographer & circus theater maker Piet Van Dycke once again bring dance, acrobatics, and text together in a humorous and playful performance.” (Theaterkrant) Cast: Andrea Beugger and Franco Pelizzari del Valle / text & direction: Jonas Vermeulen / choreography: Piet Van Dycke / voice-overs: Sofie Decleir and Jonas Vermeulen / assistant director: Sam Cunningham / dramaturgy: Marie Peeters / scenography: Menno Boerdam / coproduction: HET LAB Hasselt, 30CC and Perpodium / with support from: De Vlaamse Overheid
