Reacties op After The Echo
THEATERKRANT
"Je ziet in het Nederlandse theater niet vaak meer dat makers zo’n consequent en rijk beeldend universum opbouwen als Deroo en De Ronde hier doen"
AMSTERDAM FRINGE JURY
"De jury is gegrepen door de visuele poëzie van deze voorstelling en noemt dit een performance met een onberispelijke scenografie. Het voelt alsof je in een andere wereld terechtkomt, eentje die je omsluit maar dan op een prettige manier. Impactvol, ontroerend en, om een van de juryleden te citeren: “freaking magical”. De fysieke uitvoering is van een verbluffende kwaliteit en uitgevoerd door twee sterke performers die als duo erg op elkaar ingespeeld zijn."

“Impactful, touching and, to quote one of the jury members: “freaking magical”
THEATRE FULL STOP
"The duo’s integration of physical theatre is an inventive feature. (…) these dynamics all working together to build up an intense dreamscape, one that leaves a lasting impression and delves into the feeling of melancholy thoughtfully".
In English
TRANSIT - fasten your seatbelt, there's no estimated time of arrival is a surreal physical performance about being stuck 'in between'. The feeling of an eternal transit zone at an airport where no plane ever arrives or departs. As you are waiting for help, with a suitcase in your hand, your body starts to shake as if there is an earthquake inside you. There is no one to help you. You're on your own. Advice? Enjoy it, because there is still a long way to go.
TRANSIT is a sequel to After The Echo which DeRonde/Deroo performed in a sold out Zaal 3 last January. Before that, it won the Best of Fringe Award at the Amsterdam Fringe Festival in 2021.
This absurd, dreamy and humorous performance takes a cinematic look at the feeling of never getting anywhere. In reality, we are more often on the go than arriving somewhere. We are always looking. We strive for happiness. We crave love. We're trying. We hope. We dream. We wish. We desire. So…watch out for turbulence.
About DeRonde/Deroo
DeRonde/Deroo consists of mimers Nick Deroo (Belgium, Ostend, 1990) and Tom de Ronde (Netherlands, Delft, 1997). Both studied at the Mime in Amsterdam at the Amsterdam Hogeschool voor de Kunsten. There they found each other in their shared love for cinematic theater.
DeRonde/ Deroo create dream worlds that will stay in your memory. As a viewer you enter a universe with its own rules and surreal moments. Their performances are often described as visually stunning poems. Tom and Nick are both active outside their collective; as a result they continue to challenge themselves and are inspired by artists around them.
