Where you end up when you leave

A humorous and playful dance performance about an attempt to leave

Three different people wander through a landscape of doors, behind each one there’s hidden a different world. But no matter how many times they leave, they always seem to end up back together and with the audience. Visual tricks, physical dance and slapstick-like scenes suck you into this magical quest for where you end up when you leave. How long do you have to be away before you arrive somewhere? Can we also leave together? Step through the door and find out together!

Suitable for children from 5 years old and families. Plays in theatres, gymnasiums and other (indoor and outdoor) locations.

‘An unopened door…: a new world, ready to be discovered, a familiar home, an escape attempt. Perhaps you will find someone you lost, or maybe you want to disappear yourself for a while.

Jasper Džuki Jelen’s choreography… is inventive and humorous… What’s more, the performance is carried by three charismatic and skilled dancers. What starts as simple slapstick becomes increasingly complex acrobatics. The dancers climb on the doors, hang from them and use the doorposts as horizontal bars.’
