The Odd Ones

The Odd Ones is a show that explores individuality, social dynamics and finding belonging through the perspective of oddness and everything it can mean. The ugly and unappealing sides along with the amazingly and awe-inspiringly unique. 

Three vastly different people (one acrobat, one contemporary dancer, one breakdancer) with different ways of communicating, expressing and being must slowly navigate a social and physical dance to understand, learn from, communicate and collaborate with, and perhaps even grow to enjoy the company of people that are not like themselves. The show moves in between beauty and ugliness, humor and vulnerability, with a large dose of oddness spread throughout.

The ultimate purpose of the show is to combat the growing polarisation in society, showing how you can both stay true to yourself and your roots while also understanding, adapting to and learning to get along with others that are not like yourself.

The show is a thematic continuation of my solo show Odd One Out that has performed in The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland and Sweden through 2022-2024 and received a 4,47/5 audience rating at the Delft Fringe Festival.
