Wow special hat (3+) - DE MAAN & 4Hoog

Yes, that's possible! That's how it starts, because that's how theater always starts. Yes, that's possible. Here, on stage. Lights on? Yes, that's possible. Children in the room? Yes, that's possible. Adults in the room? Yes, that's also possible. Two players on stage? Yes, that's possible. Until one of them announces a third player, but no one shows up. “That's not possible!” concludes the other. “That is possible,” shouts the first. Before long they are bickering about what is possible and what is not. But that is only the beginning. What follows takes place in a real miniature city on stage, full of tall apartment blocks. Behind every lit window, other residents live in other family forms. Behind every window, other stories play out. We get to know a great diversity of puppets, between which both makers move back and forth as players, animators, and… ventriloquists. There is always another little house that has not yet revealed its peculiarity. Amai speciaal chapeau is based on a powerful thought: families exist in all shapes and sizes. And some of them are ‘different’ than we have often known. concept & performance Karlien Torfs & Nikolas Lestaeghe / final direction Simon D'Huyvetter / figures Paul Contryn & Katinka Heremans / decor Paul Contryn, Nikolas Lestaeghe & Karlien Torfs / light Aaron Bruyninckx / music Leen Diependaele & Bart Van Lierde / © Diego Franssens demaan.be & 4hoog.be
