Blueberries leave bruises on the skin poster

Blueberries leave bruises on the skin

In the dance theater performance Blueberries leave bruises on the skin, three characters arrive at a place where they must rediscover themselves and others. In a colorful collection of attempts, they try to cope with the roles that are expected of them.

The question that becomes increasingly pressing is this: how much of yourself do you give up in order to meet those expectations?

Blueberries leave bruises on the skin is a parade of possible answers to the question of how constructible you are, a celebration of human insecurity and hubris, an ode to searching.

Trilingual performance: Dutch, English and French. For everyone aged 16 and up.
