Desire Louis Janssens
A hushed performance about the desire to experience something. To be loved, to be touched. The universal longing for connection is made tangible in a playful and personal way. The audience is taken into a recognizable and intimate world of thoughts.

From dark to light
Desire takes place in the transition from night to day, from dark to light. The moment when possibilities become visible. What thoughts and doubts come into play during this so-called “blue hour”? The performance is located exactly at that moment of unfulfilled desires.
four lonely souls
With a newly written text as a starting point, Louis Janssens is on stage with three actors. Four lonely souls take us into their personal thoughts, doubts, fears and desires. They share what they would normally not dare to show to each other. In Desire they do, only to discover that they are actually quite similar.
The next step
After the solo performance Serenade (selected for #newjun of The TheaterFestival 2021) and the duet Analoog with Willem de Wolf/De HOE, Louis Janssens is now creating the performance Desire with a group of young queer actors. It is the next step in creating performances that manage to portray a poetic and intimate as well as joyful and playful world.
