Anne, 11 jaar, zegt toch sorry - Wildpark

Dans & ballet

“I think it's all not too bad. Mean no it wasn't super handy of me okay I admit. But there are two sides to every story. So it just depends on how you look at it. Yes, I did something bad, but I didn't do it for nothing. Action reaction. It's nice and easy to make me the bogeyman now. But who actually started here.”

Something happened. Anne did something. Her friend is in the hospital and Anne has to say sorry by her mother. What started as a strong friendship slowly changes. Disappointment. Distrust. Growing apart. Until you suddenly find yourself diametrically opposed to each other and become so angry that you do something that you cannot take back.

Anne, 11 years old, says sorry anyway is about friendship and how quickly we form an image of someone. About what happens when that image is no longer correct. About how small cracks can grow into a rift and how you can find yourself on opposite sides without knowing exactly why.

The performance is based on conversations with children. They find friendship complicated. Who belongs. Who is listened to. Who is chosen. Vulnerability plays a major role, but is often not allowed to be visible. This is a performance about polarization at a micro level. About clashes, misunderstandings and the moments when you no longer know how to reach each other.

After the successful Anne, 10 years old, would like to be picked up and Anne, 12 years old, is a great success, this is the third in the Anne trilogy created by Annemiek Nienhuis and played by Anne van der Steen.
