MAN || CO & House of Nouws
Kracht PATS (6+)
Kracht PATS is a heroic theatrical dance performance about the power of collaboration, full of humor and delusions of grandeur.
Three heroes sneak, dive and tumble through a self-invented world full of danger. They try to save everything and everyone. With spectacular moves, they take turns stealing the spotlight. Their egos shine bright. Cool and cocky, they challenge each other. As their imagination grows, so do their superpowers. One hero sticks everyone together, the second causes explosions, and the third stops time. But the ever-blasting danger remains undefeated. Only when they put their egos aside are they able to combine their powers.
After the successful Op een onbewoond (winner Jonge Zwaan meest indrukwekkende dansproductie 2024), MAN II CO is now creating a performance full of humour and delusions of grandeur that at the same time calls for critical thinking. For this performance, forces are joined with the Tilburg youth theatre company House of Nouws.
This performance is jointly programmed by Theater aan het Vrijthof and Nederlandse Dansdagen.
