Skeletje is a poetic, funny and comforting performance about saying goodbye. Theatergroep Grote Mensen and Maas theater and dance take you on a journey along memories, mourning rituals and the mystery of death with humor, music, play and color. Because saying goodbye can also be beautiful. And sometimes even festive.
Two actors explore what it means to be dead. One of them has died, but hasn't realized it himself yet. This leads to confusion and unexpectedly funny moments. Together they look for ways to say goodbye: what remains of someone, and how do you give that meaning? Slowly a ritual develops full of lights, stories and confusion. And room for joy.

Inspired by traditions such as Día de los Muertos, in which farewell and remembrance are celebrated with color, flowers and music, Theatergroep Grote Mensen and Maas theater and dance build a lively ritual on play. The sorrow may be there, but so is the celebration. A vibrant ode to life!
ABOUT GROTE MENSEN
Some people sometimes say, "Grote mensen are children who have stopped playing." Little do they know. We are Grote mensen. And we do play. We have past event through a lot, we understand everything by now and we will show you. Grote mensen makes theater for little people. Visual, wild, dryly comical performances with slapstick and wooden sets about serious little and big people's questions.
