Theater en toneel

You take a line or see your friend fall under it. You can earn money quickly by picking up a parcel or keeping an eye on the port where you work.

Even your blueberries travel via the routes that the underworld uses. Whether you like it or not: you are dealing with drugs. The compelling theater and dance performance DOPE shows how drugs connect all layers of our society like an invisible line.

With dynamic (hip-hop) dance, monologues and intimate conversations, a drug addict, a parent, a customs officer and a user tell the honest story about the role of drugs in their world. For some this is a party, for others it is literally the container.

You are slowly confronted with the consequences of dreams about quick money, the temptations of social media, failed poverty policies and the feeling of many young people that they do not matter.

With the researchers of the research program FORT-PORT (Focusing On the Right Things in the Port of Rotterdam) by, among others, At Erasmus University Rotterdam we create an extensive in-depth program. The researchers take the audience into the dilemmas of the fight against drug and human trafficking in the Netherlands in all kinds of artistic ways.

The media about previous work
“They create performances that invite you to reflect on contemporary social trends, based on personal stories of individuals from the port city.” (Theaterkrant)
“It is amazing how their stories without text are understandable and, above all, tangible for everyone.”
