POR

In the playful and poetic dance theatre show POR, past and future meet in the present.

Two living rooms rotate on their axis. In one room, a boy tries to find his place among the removal boxes. The other room is the home of an elderly woman surrounded by fond memories. Both look in different directions: the boy dreams of what’s to come, the woman looks back. But none of them really make a move. 

Gradually, they discover that there is more than their own environment. 

Routine gives way to curiosity and, without realising it, these two opposites encourage each other to leave their familiar surroundings. POR shows a unique clash and fusion of generations, in which memories and dreams eventually give way to the power of the here and now.
