]]> We live in abundant times. Anything we want is ours to take. Anything we imagine, we realise.
Yet antidepressant use is on the rise and psychotherapists are fully booked.
How did this happen?

We witness an ordinary man during extraordinary therapy.

What is he suffering from? Anxiety? Burn-out? Post traumatic stress? A broken heart?
Will he find what he needs?

‘Truth or Dare’ is a physical theatre performance where we dig into causes, symptoms and cures.

]]> “Khandhas“ is a soloperformance by Ann Willemsen directed by Manu Luyten.

According to the Buddha, “Desires are the cause of all suffering”. One must overcome all attachment to overcome suffering.
2500 years later a woman reflects on her life. Amidst everything she has and is, she wonders about letting go.

She wants more
She desires
She wants less
She has ideas
She knows her desire
She desires to desire less

“Khandhas” is a Buddhist term and refers to all that a man can attach to. The performance was created out of a personal exploration of detachment. The result exhibits the tension between letting go and finding support.

Gazing at their reflection, they discover themselves, the other, another self.
Full of questions, desires and expectations they are looking for life, in a world full of mirrors.
Their opinions and desires crash, bend and burst.
Together they symbolise a world where authenticity is a goal in itself.
