The performance "Behind closed doors" is suitable for all ages and is an absurd play between what
you want to show to the outside world and what you want to keep hidden.
The dancers are dressed in suits and move through mystery, through various games, manipulations and the idea of being stuck in a handshake. They fight hard not to lose against the other, to get the other to agree and not least - keeping their
profile.

Many artists like to move to big cities, which contributes to the centralization of art and culture.

Martijn Dirk Joling and Amy Pender show in their bitterly angry "Behind Closed Doors" that the modern human might not have come that far.
Two people in suits stalking each other, playing clapping games like school kids and wrestling. After this, you will no longer be able to see pictures of statesmen greeting each other without a smile. Antje Landmann - Die Rheinpfalz| Kultur Regional
