We immerse ourselves in a world that begins with a very small dot, a really tiny little dot. The dot is fed up with always being overlooked. So it sets off away from its home on a piece of paper and its family full of big letters. With the desire to be big - perhaps an exclamation mark! - he sets off and is hurled out into the wide world by a child's giant snot bell. Caught in the beak of a swan on its way to Siberia, the great transformation begins. Knubbel also dreams of Siberia. Knubbel, who can talk to all animals and was probably once a swan himself in a previous life. Today, Knubbel cleans the toilets of an amusement park and loves to make up stories about swans! How fitting, isn't it?
In his first children's play, Flemish playwright Nico Boon, born in Antwerp in 1978, tells a colorful and fantastic story not only about swans, but also about small worries and great longing. In doing so, he lovingly takes up a neurodivergent perspective and naturally creates space on stage for this apparent deviation. Staged by the young director Jette Büshel, "Swans" is a play that makes you dream a lot.
