Ontroerend Goed in co-production with Arts Centre Vooruit Ghent, Theatre Royal Plymouth & Richard Jordan Productions
WORLD WITHOUT US
FRINGE FIRST AWARD 2016
We could hardly imagine it: no mortgages, no knitted scarves, no swimming pools, no butterfly strokes and no honey kept in glass jars. Animals would no longer be stuffed, skyscrapers no longer be built. There would be no more suicide and no more mathematics. No more talk about the old days, about what’s possible. There would be no more memories, no more words, no more lists.
We could hardly imagine it. It would never get this far. We’d find a solution. A world without us.
Forming the final part to an epic trilogy that began with A History of Everything(2012) and Are we not drawn onward to new erA (2015), World Without Usreturns to Plymouth following huge success at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it received a prestigious Fringe First Award.
Performed by Valentijn Dhaenens (BigMouth, SmallWar, Fight Night) and Karolien De Bleser (Sirens, A History of Everything, Under the Influence) World Without Us is our 9th co-production with the internationally acclaimed Ontroerend Goed: one of the most dynamic, innovative and exciting theatre companies in the world.
