Maas Theater en Dans / 155

CONTROLE by 155 and Maas Theater en Dans is an energetic, chaotic, and sometimes painful trip through life after youth. About panic, pressure, growing older, and the feeling that everything is both too much and not enough.
What do you do when you seem to be losing your grip?

Award-winning show CONTROLE is a hard-hitting mix of breakdance, physical comedy, live music, film, and bizarre humour. For anyone who has ever wondered: wtf am I actually doing with my life? Panic attacks, empty bank accounts, flaky friends, broken knees, getting older, and algorithms that seem to control everything. Do you try to take back control, or just let it go?

"I'm not in control of this"
155 (OneFiveFive), a breakdance collective formed by friends who grew up together,, are now in their thirties and standing at a crossroads: take control of life or stay forever free? Where they once escaped rules, expectations, and “the system” on motorbikes, they now find themselves in CONTROLE on a floor that never stands still. With a constant sense of “I’m not in control of this”, they ask the question everyone eventually has to face: who do you want to be, and how do you want to live?

CONTROLE is hilariously ironic, but also has a touching beauty
CONTROLE is a display of theatrical inventiveness and superior slapstick
On three moving conveyor belts, they manage to perform the wildest stunts. From backflips to splits and somersaults, everything with an inexhaustible energy.
