Het Rusthuis of the Bears - Menzo Kircz, Stefan Gota, Jeff Aendenboom, Ali Can Ünal

Three old circus bears live in a house. Every day is waiting for the spotlights to turn on and the circus show to begin. When the bears resist the coercion of the circus, it turns out that the circus has long since penetrated their daily lives. The spectacle, but also the danger and the violence, is part of their reality. The only way to free themselves from this is by breaking with it themselves. But how do you escape your patterns if you know no alternative? A visual, musical performance about old circus tricks and toxic learned behavior. About perpetration, trauma, and cyclical violence. A performance about breaking expectations and the search for yourself.
