Euhm... in vijf bedrijven
Kurt Van der ElstUhm... is a performance in five acts.
Uhm... is.
Uhm... is a poetic, absurd performance about someone trying to create a show while the seasons pass by.
Uhm... tries to take the audience away from their daily thoughts for a moment.
Uhm... tries not to be the show you've already seen.
Uhm... is the Big Bang but slightly different.
Uhm...

"A cheerful satire on the paralyzing and devastating urge to (re)create"De Volkskrant - ****
Dutch theater maker Elias De Bruyne previously created the critically acclaimed performances What if this is it? and The performance with perhaps the longest entrance ever, for which he received a nomination for the prestigious VSCD Mime and Performance prize.
Uhm… in five acts received a lot of praise in the Netherlands in the press, which calls De Bruyne "a promise for the future", "a multi-talented artist" and "a self-confident and pleasantly shameless performer". The performance received four stars from Volkskrant: "A cheerful satire on the paralyzing and devastating urge to recreate".
