OFF

In "OFF", the stage is waiting but the real drama unfolds behind it.

The short, sharp, and delightfully twisted performance "OFF" dives into the chaos of stepping on stage by pulling the audience deep into the world behind the curtain.

Stage fright, forgotten lines, rising panic, and the not-so-glamorous side of performing unravel in a whirlwind of visual effects and unexpected turns. What happens behind the curtain takes center stage and it's anything but ordinary.

"OFF" follows a disoriented performer grappling with severe memory loss, lost in a dressing room that seems to have a will of its own. The audience gets a rare peek behind the scenes, where nerves fray, props misbehave, and reality bends.

To make matters worse (and funnier), the dressing room, once a place of preparation, becomes a battleground, shifting, mocking, alive. Mirrors no longer reflect, objects behave strangely, and his surroundings take on a will of their own.

With a clever mix of physical comedy, illusion, and theatrical invention, "OFF" is a 15-minute drama: humorous, unpredictable, and oddly touching. A backstage meltdown has never looked so magical.

Previously performed at, among others: 

Bronks (BE), Fusion (DE), Olala (AT), Feta (PL), Passage (DK), Oerol (NL), Circolo (NL)
