Een vrolijke en ontroerende dansvoorstelling over de kracht en de schoonheid van de natuur.
The friends go into nature. No mini-garden but a real wilderness! They put on their dungarees, get their garden tools ready and off they go. They sow, they harvest, they dig and they rake the ground as fast as they can. Together they create a world of beautiful plants. Flowers to smell, plants to look at, vegetables to make your mouth water. And of course a tree for climbing and to swing from!

The friends are completely self sufficient. They don’t just grow their own food they recycle everything they can get their hands on.
Of course everything goes wrong. You can’t control nature can you? There is a hail shower, mould, fungus and a burst pipe recycled into a wonderful tool that suddenly collapses. But together the friends are strong and fortunately they always find a solution.
Friends in the Country is a sequel to the successful plan-d productions Friends on Vacation, Friends in the Winter and Friends in the library. A lively and moving dance performance about the power and beauty of nature. But also about the vulnerability of the environment; plastic soup in the sea, CO2 emissions and thawing ice floats. Whatever happens the friends don’t let each other down and always discover new things. Friends in the Country is therefore a wonderful ode to friendship, to fantasy and creativity.
