Trying really hard. Wanting really badly. Putting your best foot forward. But what if those little legs suddenly no longer do what you want? You are mercilessly overtaken by someone else. Where for one person almost everything seems to af easily, you yourself are hopelessly struggling. But is it really so bad to be slower than the rest?

Three colleagues do their utmost to welcome children to a brand new indoor play paradise. They really, really want to open. The slide has past event polished, there is live music for an extra festive touch, the trampoline has past event inspected (safety first!). They're all set. Or are they?

Ook slakken hebben wel eens haast 6+ is an exercise in patience. How do you stay calm and understanding when the other person is in a hurry? And is this still possible when you are so looking forward to something that every second is actually an hour too much?

About Theater Artemis
Theater Artemis is a youth theater company from 's-Hertogenbosch. They make interactive and anarchistic theater. Theater that, in interaction with the audience, does not obey its own laws. Theater that disturbs and is disturbed. Theater in which audience and performance find each other in a shared state of confusion. Nothing is fixed anymore. Everything lies open. We have only each other. Help! What now? Artemis offers the power to turn the world upside down.
