A psychologist and his client. With her, life scrapes by. Like a car with a loose bumper. And with him, it actually is. But they start scraping, They're going to grind each other, Until something starts to shine.
Peter De Graef plays the psychologist and the seven characters who colour Hildegard's existence. Mieke Laureys is Hildegard. The text is unadulterated Peter's. Stan Nieuwenhuis, composer and multi-instrumentalist, combines cornet and live electronics. A one-man orchestra with melancholic melodies and whimsical soundscapes. Janne Desmet, theatre maker 'pur sang', took charge of coaching.
Once you understand life, you are no longer so caught up in it. You play the game You stick to the rules But you no longer try to win because ‘Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat’
A piece about breathing and eating sandwiches in times of crisis.
