Behind closed doors

Domestic violence is more than ever in the spotlight. According to recent CBS figures, over 870 thousand Dutch are victims of psychological and physical violence in the domestic circle.

Cat Smits Company combines this urgent theme with the poetic power of puppetry in a dynamic mosaic narrative. The performance is based on the experiences of survivors: victims, their children and perpetrators.

The actors and puppets portray different stories and perspectives, creating a complete picture of the circumstances that cause boundaries to shift daily. Until fear becomes the new normal.

Behind Closed Doors is a probing theatrical experience about recognition and resilience.
