Controle - 155 & Maas theater en dans
Panic attacks, empty pockets, vague friends, rotten knees, aging, compelling algorithms. Are we trying to take back control or are we letting it slide?
The men of 155 (one-five), a breakdance collective formed from friends who grew up together, are now all around 30 and face the choice: get a grip on life or stay free forever?
In the past, they could race away on the motorbike from rules, expectations and “the system”. Now they are inVERIFICATIONliterally on a floor that moves constantly. With that restless feeling of: - I don't have this in hand - they ask the question that everyone has to face: who do you want to be and how do you want to live?
The media aboutVERIFICATION
“CONTROL 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 all of it, and all of it just isn't.”(NRC Handelsblad)
“On three production lines, they manage to pull off the craziest antics. From backflips to splits and head rolls, all with inexhaustible energy.”(I Love Theater★★★★)
“Ille skills and weird sense of humor.”(Theaterkrant)
