premiere
We am sitting on the purple carpet
we want to go home
we think it is raining too hard
we certainly do not
we stares at a high wall
we sees a metaphor of we in everything
we thinks we in other scenes;
on the bicycle
in the store
we thinks that in other scenes we is better
we wants to be right
we is right
X is about the influence of language on groups. How can it be that the plural of ‘I’ is sometimes ‘we’ and sometimes not? How far is I from we? What language does 'we' speak? X explores the space between coming together and falling apart, between seeing eye to eye and being I.
Two I’s are seeking a greater whole and refuse to speak in the ‘I’ form any longer. They demand a place in the we.
After their debut + and a version for children, De tafel van plus, Sascha Bornkamp and Juicy Dune IJsselmuiden wrote their second play. As the young theatre maker duo ‘Wang’, they start from a fascination for the different aspects of language, the misleader and the communicator of meaning. Searching for an intuitive, sensory world, Wang twists words and turns them inside out.
