William Boeva

William Boeva has a problem. He is so well-known by now that he is addressed always and everywhere. But he remains friendly. Always has a joke ready. That fame makes many things possible and at the same time that clashes with a bitter 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 please and to make everyone happy. And when 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 desire to let go of the brakes. To experience everything he had to miss in his young years. But is he then no longer a good person? In DRIFT, William Boeva 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 moment? Is there still a manual, or do we have to rewrite it together? Honest, recognizable and incredibly funny. You are watching an apparently perfect performance… until William decides that perfection is mainly an illusion.
