A busstation in the countryside. Two strangers. A bus that just won’t come.
<\/strong>
In the live radio play\u00a0Gran Canaria, wie neemt ons mee?<\/em>\u00a0we follow Gerard and Marcel, two men who meet at a bus stop just outside the strictly religious village of Grafsloot. While they wait for a bus that may never come, a tragicomic dialogue unfolds \u2013 against their will \u2013 about being stuck and getting moving, the illusion of a controllable life and the question of how to do it, being human. Gerard, a man of the old school, drags his past with him in a worn plastic bag. Marcel, a financial consultant living on projections and timelines, is slowly bogged down in the arithmetic of his own existence. What begins as an accidental encounter develops into the smallest possible drama \u2013 precisely because of everything that is left unsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This performance was part of the Explore the North Hub during Oerol. From June 13 to 22, we presented work by talents connected to our production house scattered across the island.\u00a0Explore the North<\/a>\u00a0is a production house and festival based at Podium Explore in Leeuwarden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
