Three haun­ting port­raits of lost souls.

Three port­raits of three charac­ters who are stuck in them­sel­ves. They are tos­sed to and fro bet­ween hope and des­pair, in a time full of con­tra­dic­ti­ons in which nothing is cer­tain any­mo­re or see­ms to be. Perhaps they too exist pri­ma­ri­ly in func­ti­on of the other? The audien­ce, for example. But what if the audien­ce lea­ves? Between the words and the silen­ces, a con­cern mur­murs. Implosions and explo­si­ons alter­na­te ever fas­ter. They are three souls who, abo­ve all, try to hold on. 

In Sollipsists three actors — Louise Bergez, Lucas van der Vegt and Joeri Happel — search for a com­mon ima­gi­na­ti­on, together with direc­tor Jesse Vandamme. The mate­ri­al is based on mono­lo­gues that were cre­a­ted inde­pen­dent­ly in recent years, some of them during the work­shop Het Uur van de Waarheid by Luk Perceval in NTGent, and in the per­for­man­ce GIANTS by Jesse Vandamme. The form is sober and strip­ped down; the set­ting inti­ma­te. The result is three haun­ting port­raits in a row.
