The performance in brief

In this new family show by Jetse Batelaan (winner of the 2026 Directing Award), we see adults racing through their personal lives at breakneck speed. In the little time they have left, they rush from one event to the next. There’s flirting, bickering, laughter, and tears. In this runaway drama, high peaks and deep valleys alternate at a dizzying pace. All in a feverish attempt to leave an indelible impression.

They have to keep going…

And yet, somewhere in the far corner of our field of vision, something else seems to be stirring. It’s moving agonizingly slowly, but something is undeniably happening. But these adults over 18 don’t have time for that. They have to keep going! The next distraction is already screaming for their attention.

Could someone perhaps help them? Is anyone here keeping track of things? Are there any children in the audience?

Following the success of *The End of the Beginning of the End* (2020), *A Fun Night Out* (2022), and *De* (2024), Theatre Artemis, hetpaleis, and Het Zuidelijk Toneel are joining forces for the fourth time.

“Director Jetse Batelaan stages the world at triple speed. His actors bounce through their little lives, hopping from encounter to encounter, from disappointment to disappointment.” – de Volkskrant
