IN SHORT
In a fast-paced, automated world where objects come to life, a confused elephant suddenly appears at the bus stop. His presence raises questions about what is truly strange. This physical comedy, with minimal dialogue and plenty of music, directed by Barend van Daal, invites us to reflect on perception and the unexpected.

This performance takes place in a fast-paced, automated world where things seem to have a life of their own. For instance, the trash can scolds you if you toss your waste into the wrong recycling bin. And suddenly, an elephant appears at the bus stop. He doesn’t quite seem to fit into this world. He looks a bit confused, out of step. But who’s really out of place? The elephant or the ever-accelerating world around him? And perhaps this "confused" elephant has been through a lot—who knows? Maybe there’s more to him than meets the eye.

A physical comedy with a raw edge, featuring very little dialogue and plenty of music. The set serves as a fantastic counterpart to the elephant, who is brought to life with a stunning mask by Barend van Daal (previously seen in Scheur in de Tijd, POPpulisme, and The Neverending Story).

Duration: 50 minutes.

About the creators

Het Filiaal Theatermakers is Utrecht's youth theater company. We create space for imagination, enabling you to see beyond your own reality. We not only show what we create but also how we create it. This transparency sparks the imagination. Our work is interdisciplinary, combining acting, (live) music and singing, puppetry, objects, and (live video) visuals. Het Filiaal Theatermakers tours both nationally and internationally, from Groningen to Goes and from Sydney to Shanghai.

Each production is accompanied by art projects designed for students—not just to prepare them for the theater experience but also to encourage them to see the world from a different perspective.
