The Bushes

The past is not dead. It's alive, it's happening in the back of my head .

 JHPYoung  in collaboration with the Naturally Uitermeer foundation

On the day that the Russian cosmonaut Gagarin makes his space flight, a hole appears in the fence to the bushes where it is not allowed to play. A group of young adults look back on a childhood moment when one of them suddenly disappeared. They try to find out what happened in the bushes that day.

 

Directed by Jori Hermsen, De Bosjes is a musical and fairytale thriller. With a cast of eleven young people and a crew of young professionals, JHPjong creates a poetic and moving location performance about losing innocence and coping with loss.  

 

Norwegian writer Jesper Helle won with the text De Bosjes  (Lilleskogen) in 2001 de  Wilhelm Hansen Fondens Nordic playwright award 2001 and in 2004 the Hedda Award.
