“Intriguing until the very end. The performers of Ways of being ready find tension, poetry and eloquence.” Theaterkrant.nl
In “Ways of being ready” two lifelong friends meet and practice the art of being ready, even though nothing really occurs: Wonderful and full of endless possibilities. Whereas circus is often about 'doing' and achieving something, Ways of being ready explores the fleeting moment just before the action. The muscles are tense, the breath is held, they are about to collapse. Is this tragic-comic duo testing their friendship or are the two really out to defeat each other? And who is the mysterious third party? Ways of being ready is exciting, incredibly tense and often hilarious. |
