In this work Robin Berkelmans wants to reveal the inner side. He shines a light on creating, destroying, loving and fearing life and oneself. It is inspired on the self-caused death of his father.
This research project is part of the final work from the Thank You, Embrace me, Thank You concept. The concept is inspired on individuality, society and anxiety. The choices one has to make throughout life. Sometimes hard-to-imagine choices, when viewed from the outside.

Robin takes up this research project to deepen and blend his experience in contemporary dance and physical theatre into a solo.
