Panic attacks, empty pockets, fuzzy friends, rotten knees, getting older, compelling algorithms. Do we try to take back control or do we let it slip away from us?
The men of 155 (one-five-five), a breakdance collective formed from friends who grew up together, are now all around 30 and face a choice: get a grip on life or stay forever free?
They used to be able to race away from rules, expectations and "the system" on a motorcycle. Now in CONTROLE they are literally standing on a floor that is constantly moving. With that unsettled feeling of: - I am not in control of this - they ask the question that everyone must face: who do you want to be and how do you want to live?
The media about CONTROLE
"CONTROLE is a showcase of theatrical inventiveness and superior slapstick." (Het Parool)
"Think Jiskefet, think Jackass, think Maaskantje ánd think breakdance. Or is it mime, comedy, contemporary dance. The breakdance group 155 is it all, and all just not." (NRC Handelsblad)
"On three conveyor belts they know how to do the craziest antics. From backflips to splits and somersaults, all with inexhaustible energy." (I Love Theater ★★★★)
"Ille skills and weird sense of humor." (Theater newspaper)
- Winner of the Golden Cricket 2023 for the most impressive play performance in youth theater
- This performance uses (stroboscopic) lighting effects.
"CONTROL is hilariously ironic, but also of a touching beauty."
