Drift | William Boeva

Honest, recognizable, and above all incredibly funny. You come to watch an apparently perfect performance… until William decides that perfection is mainly an illusion. William Boeva has a problem. He is so well-known by now that he is addressed always and everywhere. But he remains friendly. Always a joke ready. That fame makes a lot possible and at the same time, it clashes with a bitter realization: what sometimes goes automatically for him remains a struggle for many people with a disability. And that weighs. What if those doors close for him again tomorrow? William feels the pressure to keep pleasing. And if he doubts for a moment, he thinks: “What would Jesus do?”. But in the meantime, something else is bubbling. Something that is in everyone: drift. The desire to let go of the brakes and experience what he had to miss in his younger years. But is he no longer a good person then? In DRIFT, William finds out: what do you do with your drifts? When are you a good person? When are you allowed to make mistakes? And when are you allowed to just… be human? Is there still a manual, or do we have to rewrite it together?
