PREMIERE
Past and future meet in the present, in this playful and poetic performance,
On stage, two living rooms literally revolve around their own axis. In one, a boy is trying to find his place among moving boxes. In the other, an older woman lives surrounded by cherished memories. Both are looking in opposite directions: the boy dreams of what lies ahead, the woman reflects on what has passed. But neither of them truly takes a step.
Gradually, their routines give way to curiosity, and without realizing it, these two opposites gently nudge each other beyond their familiar walls. POR presents a unique clash - and fusion - of generations, where memories and dreams ultimately make room for the power of the here and now.
Zozoöfzo (2017), Dummies (2020), and Foon (2021) - for all these successful performances, Collectief dOFt could count on the support of our creative space, HET LAB. After Dummies, POR is the second dOFt production to premiere at the Krokusfestival. And we couldn’t be more excited: an impressive set, sharp content, and a delightful blend of words and movement!
about the company
The collective dOFt - pronounced "d of t," with the d for dance and the t for theater - creates performances with their own spelling rules. Just as you might sometimes wonder whether a word is spelled with a "d" or a "t," the audience at a dOFt performance might wonder about the exact discipline: is it dance or theater? With their pas de deux between dance and theater, dOFt strives to develop a unique theatrical language that reveals the perfection of the imperfect in accessible, yet challenging, performances.
