MILKY WAY / 8+

You’re sitting on the seats of the school sports field. Alone. Everyone is gone. Your sports bag lies next to you and the music plays through your headphones. You stare at the sky until your eyes sting and the colors of the clouds fade. You almost fall off the bench as you sit there with all your questions. Why do I sometimes feel so alone when there is so much in this universe? How can it be that the Earth is so vast, yet just a tiny dot in the Milky Way? Why do I have to buy my sneakers with room to grow? When will I stop growing, or will I never? Or do I expand infinitely, just like the universe?

But then suddenly, nothing is as it seems. A portal to another dimension opens in your backpack and you are no longer alone with your questions. Floating upside down through the Milky Way, you search for answers.

Milky Way is an imaginative, physical theater performance that explores feeling lonely at times, but being together in that loneliness. It's a performance about drifting between being a child and being an adult, and about setting your questions in motion. Above all, it's about having the confidence that there is always someone there for you when the questions in your head threaten to overflow.

This performance is Dutch spoken, but can be performed in English.
