Past event

In this surreal and humorous performance about social pressure and self-esteem, the life of a clumsy man is turned upside down when his double appears.

The doppelgänger is everything the man is not and robs him of the attention he craves. While no one sees the resemblance, the man tries to flee from this miserable situation. Theater company Jakop Ahlbom Company makes visual and physical theater and has previously performed Knock-Out, Lebensraum, Horror and SYZYGY.

De pers over Strangely Familiair

“Steeds sneller manoeuvreren de personages zich door een decor, dat in rap tempo van vorm verandert. De prullenbak leidt een eigen leven, liften blijven steken op de verkeerde etage.” Parool

“Dat Ahlbom na de klapper van Knock-out (2021) - de succesvolle slapstickcomedy die hij maakte met ISH Dance Collective – nu kiest voor een diametraal andere, ingetogen atmosfeer, getuigt van lef. Maar wat hij er precies mee wil zeggen, in deze tijd, blijft diffuus.” Volkskrant

“De voorstelling zit vol beweging, vooral van de decorstukken die een eigen choreografie volgen, maar ook van de spelers die zoals altijd in zijn werk uitmunten in lichaamsbeheersing. Ze bewegen dan eens strak langs elkaar heen, papieren en aktetassen in de hand, dan weer rollenbollen ze koppeltjeduikelend over elkaar heen.” Theaterkrant
