BUREN

BABEL-neighbours-campaign-DEF2022-lowress.jpg

How do you live, how would you like to live and what do you think of the contact with your neighbors? Six actors of Theater Babel Rotterdam answer these questions in the square performance 'Buren' (Neighbors). A frank encounter with an audience of passers-by and an invitation to share their own dreams for living.

One of the actors is Ali. Ali sees only five percent and lives with his parents. Ali: "Actually I would like to live independently. But that also seems very scary to me. Will I have enough money? And what should I do when the food runs out?" Ali is always looking for a good balance between independence and security.

'Buren' was made in honor of the 95th anniversary of care organization Pameijer. The show was to play in July and August 2021 but was postponed due to the Corona measures in place at the time. New performance dates are planned for April and May 2022.
