Inner Beast (6+) | ICOON

Sometimes it seems like there's a wolf inside me. Then I want to growl, run or cry really loud. Sometimes I feel more like a monkey, when I wobble on my chair or swing on lampposts. And sometimes, I see the same in others around me. Do you recognize that? Your neighbor looks like a humming bear. And your niece is like a hopping pony. But with most people, their Inner Beast is tucked away, tamed and confined. That's pathetic, isn't it?

In the cheerful family dance performance Binnenbeest, five scientists welcome you into their laboratory. They follow a set routine and are busy with glasses, counting and taking notes. But then their inner beasts rear their heads and fall increasingly out of step. Mechanical movements turn into acrobatic leaps, dignified music erupts into swinging flamenco and the carefully stacked glasses fly through the air. Inner Beast is a performance about order and chaos, and the fun to be found in both. A catchy performance about your impulses. Do you follow them blindly or do they become too much for you?

The infectious family performance Binnenbeest (2017) is back on stage with a brand new cast for a new generation of children, "serious" adults and all inner beasts.
