Rocket 15 maart 2007 to 19 januari 2008
That Touki Delphine (Bo Koek, Rik Elstgeest and John van Oostrum) made its name with Ghostbusters is due to the refreshingly absurd slant of the performance and their terse musical style. The infectiousness and innocent madness that characterised this performance now has a sequel: Rocket. About fried eggs with broken yolks, intergalactic bangs and the sense of release.
Rocket features a day in the life of Pansie: a human being who was born and got stuck among a people with whom he has nothing to do, nor wants to. This people makes love and practises science, has hobbies and collections, knows many languages, words and gestures, dedication, trust, ethnic cleansing, small business, big business, hunger strikes, doing puzzles, outsourcing, uploading as well as going on holiday, but Pansie wants to take off, never to return.
Rocket takes place at the crossroads of music, performance and projection. Sound decors, built up from everyday sounds and extremely loud power riffs, challenge our audile capacity. The characters cross the stage in real life, but simultaneously appear as pixels and images according to the blue screen principle. What you see is Pansie's world, what you feel is the smugness of his environment. All this results in a well thought-out form that allows bold colouring outside the lines in the approved Touki Delphine way.
