All That Is Wrong16+
Monologue in chalk
In Once and for all we're gone tell you who we are, so shut up and listen (Ontroerend Goed/Kopergietery) she burned Barbie dolls and analyzed what others thought. In Teenage Riot (Ontroerend Goed/Kopergietery) she gave tips on how to become model skinny and looked at adults as animals in a cage.
Koba Ryckewaert is now eighteen years old and she knows there is a lot wrong with the world. She just has to get to grips with it. She is better at writing than speaking and this leads to drawing. On the ground. To start with by herself.
Alone, there’s no boyfriend. Loneliness leads to boredom. Boredom which could be solved with money, money for a better computer, for example. But there isn’t any: mother is unemployed because of the recession. What can Koba do to solve the problem? Not a lot, but not nothing either. In All That Is Wrong Koba is on her own. But she makes choices.
Ontroerend Goed and Laika join forces for the first time for this wordless production. All that is wrong will have its première at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2012 before going on tour in Belgium and abroad.

"a piece of theatre that will be unforgettable, thought-provoking and visually impressive. It is an engaging hour of harsh reality mixed with a glimmer of hope, with Ryckewaert’s simple message – “I will write”."
12/08/2012
"so simple, deceptively slight, yet so far-reaching (...) This isn’t a lecture, it doesn’t have a message: and it yet looks very like the networked future of political theatre: cool, determined and inside the nerve centre of political thought."
06/08/2012
The energy of youth is poured into a series of shows which have plenty to say, on both a personal and a political level
"It’s hard to say whether Ryckewaert’s show offers a message of hope, or of complete despair. Yet in itself, it’s a near-perfect example of the art that conceals art, beautifully written and thought through, despite its apparent casualness."

So wrong it's right All That Is Wrong
"their philosophy of rubbing it all out and starting again is driven home in powerfully mesmeric fashion. (….) As her scrawls become more urgent, it becomes clear this isn’t teenage angst. Rather, this young woman is taking on the world."
05/08/2012
"All That is Wrong is a timely piece that ebbs away at you hours after seeing it. It doesn’t offer a provocative stance on the wordt but it commentates in a subdued manner."
03/08/2012
"All That Is Wrong is ultimately a piece about writing and about the power of words. We may not be able to understand everything, we may not be able to change everything – but through words we can understand more, change more. Here, writing is a presented as a visceral, physical activity, not merely a cerebral process. "

Ontroerend Goed endure growing pains
"a living demonstration of how the act of writing, creating and describing can offer some sense of meaning; even in the most terrifying times."
