Sinopse
I… um I
For everyone who’s ever at odds with themselves.
Lately, I have been overly concerned with myself. This morning I left home on time, but once outside it became apparent that I was still partially lying in bed. When I returned home that evening, the part of me I’d left behind had blocked the door. Through the window I saw him running around the house. It was a mess: the computer’s letters had been stuffed inside the refrigerator, fish were swimming among the houseplants and my dirty linen had been aired in public. When I pointed this out, he denied everything and quickly slipped into the painting down the hall. Now I’m hiding under the bed. The lamp’s swaying back and forth and I can hear the clock ticking louder and louder... — Het Houten Huis

Author's bio text
Het Houten Huis [‘The Wooden House’, tr.] is the visual music-theatre company from the North of the Netherlands. The house is a symbol of life, which squeaks and creaks sometimes and where an unexpected guest can drop by. They’re always sawing and sanding stories, imagination and musicality. In the daytime they perform for schools, from infants to adolescents, but in the evening they perform for grown-ups who leave the theatre with the same disbelief. Emotion and fantasy know no bounds...
