Friends in Winter (5+)

A sparkling dance performance

It is getting colder and colder. The friends are getting ready for winter. They chop wood for the fireplace, bake cookies, knit a warm hat and bring a Christmas tree home. And what a beauty this is! But how are they going to get it through the door?
They put their heads together and work out how to get the job done

Suddenly they get a bright idea! If the tree does not fit through a door, they should change the door of course. No flaw in it! They go to work saw the shape of the tree from the door. And then … the tree exactly fits through the door, hurray! The pine tree is finally inside and the crazy boys can go decorate him.

But how come it is suddenly so very cold in the room? A horrible draft, the crazy boys are almost blown away by the wind which is coming into the house. An icy snowstorm enters the room and in no time they sit firmly in meters of snow. ” What the hell ….? ” Like polar bears they clamber out of their burrows and grab the skis on the walls. Hoppa!

Merijn (6yrs): 'The nicest play of the entire winter. Everything is nice and good.'

Friends in Winter

‘So simple and yet so good.’ ‘These friends make something out of nothing that is absurd and from everyday life, touching and entertaining.’

Volkskrant

‘Everything is fantastically timed, pure slapstick but at a real high level.’ ‘Beauty is created with a lot of noise, shouting, hullaballoo and whirling sawdust. Respect’

Leeuwarder Courant

‘Denk and Casanovas know what it is to make theatre and how you inspire a sold out house, to make us glad and to move us. ‘The scene where the friends make pastry cookies swirl in circles is sublime and unparalleled.’

Theaterkrant

'Dit is de leukste voorstelling die we deze winter hebben gezien, alles is goed en leuk en je zit op het puntje van je stoel.'
