Elias De Bruyne

EUHM... IN VIJF BEDRIJVEN

Um... Hello welcome.
A silence falls.

...

Dear audience.
That which I have been trying to prepare for you, I have let go.
It seems more exciting not to know everything yet.
Back to the beginning, a black hall.
Someone comes up...

Hello, welcome, ...

Erm... is a play in five acts.
Erm... is.
Euhm... is a poetic, absurd performance about someone trying to put on a show while the seasons pass by undisturbed. 
Euhm... tries to take the visitor away from his daily thoughts for a moment.
Euhm... tries not to be the performance you've already seen.
Euhm... is the big bang but slightly different.
Euhm...

Elias De Bruyne previously created the critically-acclaimed performances Wat als dit alles is? en De voorstelling met misschien wel de langste opkomst ooit. With this performance, Elias received a nomination for the VSCD Mime Performance prize.
