Wouter Deprez: Levend & Vers

No one really enjoys bowling. But every now and then, you find yourself standing on the lane with that weird ball in your fingers. You order your drink via a microphone and try to act like those shoes are perfectly normal. You clench your fist when you knock everything down and a pin starts dancing on the screen. Bowling is like life. It's a ridiculous pastime, but occasionally throwing a strike keeps us going. A performance about the meaninglessness of existence and how to deal with it cheerfully.

It is these illusions that comedian Thomas Smith wants to expose and puncture. And he is looking for a useful answer to the question of life: what to do when you receive good news while you have a headache?
