Blind/Visually Impaired

Worn-out knees, empty pockets, sketchy friends, growing older, demanding algorithms. Do we try to take back control, or do we just let it slip away?

The men of 155 (one-five-five), a breakdance collective formed by friends who grew up together, are now all around 30 and face a choice: get a grip on life, or stay free spirits forever?

Where their previous show MOTORS had a motorbike parked outside, ready to flee from tedious obligations, problems and the system, in CONTROLE they wrestle on a moving floor with the feeling of not being in control at all. Along the way, they answer the questions: who do you want to be, and how do you want to stand in the world? Do you keep dancing on worn-out knees to escape algorithms and responsibilities?

CONTROLE brings a packed medley of breakdance, physical comedy, live music, film and bizarre humour.

VOLKSKRANT
"Controle is not only hilariously ironic, at times the interplay between the dancers is also of a touching beauty." ★★★★
