EN
Love, Solitude and Box(es) is a solo theatrical performance about otherness, loneliness and struggles where the corporality, the space, the dance and the music will be the main tools of expression for the performer. Frederico Araujo uses the specificities of the location to explore and expose sensitive themes of his biography, such as: being an immigrant in Europe; memories of an ex-love; and t

he daily obligation to always be wary when he is perceived as an outsider in a racist, xenophobic and homophobic society. The performer takes the audience with him through his life while his body dances, sings and laughs at his open wounds. Love, Solitude and Box(es) is an attempt to show Frederico Araujo in his entirety, in this catalogue of pains and possible healing. Performance and directing: Frederico Araujo | Scenography and light design: Ine Roeder | Sound design: Ruben Bongaerts | Production: Mike Neyens | Coaching: Kristien De Proost



NL
Love, Solitude and Box(es) is een solo theatervoorstelling over anders-zijn, eenzaamheid en worstelingen waar lichamelijkheid, ruimte, dans en muziek als belangrijkste expressiemiddelen worden gebruikt. Frederico integreert de specifieke kenmerken van de locatie om gevoelige thema's uit zijn biografie te verkennen en bloot te leggen, zoals: immigrant zijn in Europa; herinneringen aan een ex-geliefde; de dagelijkse verplichting om altijd op zijn hoede te zijn wanneer hij als een buitenstaander wordt gezien in een racistische, xenofobe en homofobe maatschappij. De performer neemt het publiek mee doorheen zijn leven, terwijl zijn lichaam al dansend zijn open wonden bezingt en bespot. Love, Solitude and Box(es) is een poging om Frederico Araujo in al zijn aspecten te tonen, in deze cluster van pijn en mogelijk soelaas. Spel en regie: Frederico Araujo | Scenografie en lichtontwerp: Ine Roeder | Geluidsontwerp: Ruben Bongaerts | Productie: Mike Neyens | Coaching: Kristien De Proost

Love, Solitude and Box(es) est une performance théâtrale solo sur l'altérité, la solitude et les luttes, avec la physicalité, l'espace, la danse et la musique comme principaux moyens d'expression. Frederico Araujo utilise les spécificités du lieu pour explorer et exposer des thèmes sensibles de sa biographie, tels que: être un immigrant en Europe; les souvenirs d'un ancien amour; l'obligation quotidienne de toujours être sur ses gardes, étant considéré comme un étranger dans une société raciste, xénophobe et homophobe. L’artiste emmène le public à travers sa vie tandis que son corps danse, chante et se moque de ses blessures ouvertes.

Love, Solitude and Box(es) é uma performance teatral solo sobre alteridade, solidão e luta, onde a fisicalidade, o espaço, a dança e a música são as principais ferramentas para expressão do performer. Frederico Araujo utiliza as especificidades do local para explorar e expor temas sensíveis da sua biografia, tais como: ser imigrante na Europa; as memórias de um ex-amor; a obrigação diária de estar sempre atento (e forte!) quando percebido como um corpo estranho numa sociedade ra***ta, xenofóbica e homofóbica. O artista leva a audiência consigo através da sua vida enquanto o seu corpo dança, canta e ri de suas feridas em aberto. Love, Solitude and Box(es) é uma tentativa de mostrar Frederico Araujo na sua totalidade, neste catálogo de dor e possíveis curas.

Meet Kristien De Proost!

Kristien De Proost is a Belgian actress and theatre maker. After getting her Master Toneel at the Studio Herman Teirlinck in Antwerp, she has worked freelance at Het Toneelhuis, CAMPO, Bronks and LOD. She was part of the artistic core of the Brussels theatre collective Tristero, where she created her first solo performance (Toestand), which has toured worldwide since.
In addition to her own trajectory as a maker, she works as a performer with directors and artists such as Julian Hetzel, Milo Rau and Bosse Provoost, and she had even starred in a few movies and TV series.

With her knowledge and experience she had been a great addition to the team as a coach! She helped Frederico find his path in this performance, by asking the right questions and offering different points of view.

We want to thank Kristien for the brilliant coaching, leading up to the upcoming performance!

Meet Ruben Bongaerts!

Ruben Bongaerts is a 22 year old student who is currently studying at RITCS to become a stage technician. As a musician he was always interested in making soundscapes and sound installations, which led him to sound design, and eventually to Love, Solitude and Box(es)!

He felt drawn to the project as soon as he heard that Frederico wanted to use sound as one of his primary tools. Together they have collaborated to figure out how they can use sound as a way of storytelling, and we are very excited to show you all of their hard work on May 30th & 31st!

Meet Ine Roeder!

Ine is a student in her last year of stage technics at RITCS. She has always loved the technical side of theatre, but recently she became more interested in the artistic side, such as scenography and light design. Trying to make the technical aspect and the creative meet on stage, and inherently bringing a story to life, is what motivates her. This is what she aimed to create with her scenography design within Love, Solitude and Box(es)!

Ine and Frederico have previously worked together, which helped her understand his vision and bring it to life as she loves to do! We are so excited for you to witness what they created!
