De mens, het duurde maar heel even

In a classic frame theatre with diorama-like sets, two actors play the earth. They make birds fly, waves sway and mountains grow. The third actor, man, tries to get a grip on that world. The greater the urge to control, the more things go wrong. A tree stump breaks in half, a fall through the mountain landscape rips half the scenery with it, and even the velvet theater curtain is not spared.

What follows is an inevitable chain reaction of failure, at once hilarious and moving. With playful humor, the soloist is taken off the pedestal and made part of the ensemble again.

A comical, confrontational and visual spectacle with live piano, for everyone aged 8 and up!
