William Boeva has a problem. He is so well-known by now that he is approached always and everywhere. But he remains friendly. Always has a joke ready.
That fame makes many things possible, but at the same time, it clashes with a wry realization: what sometimes goes automatically for him remains a fight 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 to make everyone happy. And if he doubts for a moment, he thinks: “What would Jesus do?”
But meanwhile, something else is bubbling up. Something that is in everyone: drive. The urge to let go of the brakes. To experience everything he had to miss in his younger years. But is he no longer a good person then?
In ‘Drift’, William figures it out: what do you do with your drives? When are you a good person? When are you allowed to make mistakes? And when are you allowed to just be… human for a while? Is there still a manual, or do we have to rewrite it together?
Honest, recognizable, and above all incredibly funny. You come to watch an apparently perfect performance… until William decides that perfection is mainly an illusion.
