Banger dan ik (7+)
Don't be alarmed! This is a monstrously sweet performance.
Everyone is sometimes afraid of something. Also your tough neighbor boy, the strong gym teacher and even your parents. Cat (a girl, not a cat!) doesn't seem afraid of anything. But is that really the case? As soon as she goes to sleep, she ends up in a fantasy world full of colorful monsters. What do those strange, fluffy creatures want from her and what do they have to say? More scared than me is an adventurous performance about daring to be brave while also being a little scared.
Drawings that come to life
Cat worries about her mom lying on the couch all day. Her classmate says that Kat's mother gets better when she makes the most beautiful drawing in the world. But can she? ”Many children in the Netherlands carry a large care task and especially want to see their parents happy," says director Dimphna van Kempen. "With this performance, I give all brave children the courage to face their fear."
Prize winning
Earlier, the director and writer of Banger dan ich made the award-winning performance A Country Inside My Head. They won the Golden Cricket, the prize for best youth performance of 2025. More scared than me is their first performance after this theatre success.
