Controle - 155 & Maas theater en dans
Panic attacks, empty pockets, vague friends, rotten knees, growing older, compelling algorithms. Do we try to take back control or do we let it slip away?
The men of 155 (one five five), a breakdance collective that emerged from friends who grew up together, are now all around 30 and face a choice: get a grip on life or remain free forever?
In the past, they could race away from rules, expectations and “the system” on their motorcycle. Now in CONTROL they are literally standing on a floor that is constantly moving. With that restless feeling of: - I have no control over this - they ask the question that everyone must face: who do you want to be and how do you want to live?
The media about CONTROLE
"CONTROLE is a showcase of theatrical inventiveness and superior slapstick." (Het Parool)
"Think Jiskefet, think Jackass, think Maaskantje and think breakdance.
Or is it mime, comedy, contemporary dance.
The breakdance group 155 is it all, and not all of it." (NRC Handelsblad)
"They know how to do the craziest antics on three conveyor belts.
From backflips to splits and somersaults, everything with an inexhaustible energy." (I Love Theater ★★★★)
"Ill skills and a weird sense of humor." (Theatrekrant)
