It really hurts when your head hits the concrete

DeRonde/Deroo (NL)
A man drags his companion around as a rag doll

A 70-kilo body tied to him. En route and lost, he deploys the rag doll as a living Swiss army knife. But what if your companion suddenly no longer wants to play along?

It humorously and poetically embodies how we all have a history. In this physical performance, you are immersed into an absurd world in which the internal struggle of a man becomes personified. Expect a deluge of images that reads like a poem and takes you to virtuosic acrobatic highlights.
