Derwazeens, 6+ - The Quarter & The Studio

Two friends. One lies sick in bed, with a body that can do less and less. The other comes to visit and cheers things up. Can imagination heal? In a hospital bed lies a child whose body is working less and less, the muscles are slowly stopping to beat. At the edge of the bed sits a friend with a lunchbox and an unstoppable imagination. That imagination takes them to the world on the other side of the bed: a kingdom where everyone can walk, where kissing isn't dirty, and where you can fly with your nostrils. The two friends take the audience on their journey through a self-invented realm. Hilly landscapes of cardboard, blood of cardboard, candlesticks of cardboard, a crown of cardboard: the enchanted land of Derwazeens. Derwazeens is a swinging, playful performance that moves children and adults. A performance for young and old where imagination makes even the most difficult moments beautiful! production Het Kwartier & De Studio - text and outside eye Freek Mariën - by Toon Acke, Milan Van Bortel & Esther Van Der Wel - with Toon Acke & Esther Van Der Wel - coaching Carl von Winckelmann - in co-production with Perpodium - © Yuri van der Hoeven - with the support of the Vlaamse Overheid, Stad Leuven, Stad Mechelen, the Tax Shelter of the Belgian federal government via UFund & Literatuur Vlaanderen
