The school day is over. A boy dawdles, reluctant to go home to his endlessly quarrelling father and mother. They argue about who can best take care of him when they separate. They fight about who doesn’t want custody.

LEFT tells the story of a boy who, weighed down by his parents’ messy divorce, decides to disappear. The audience follows his flight and the subsequent search for him. As you walk, you observe the boy’s actions. A voice filters his thoughts and feelings into your ear through a headset. His memories and dreams draw you into his world.

Inspired by the film Loveless (Andrej Zvjagintsev), Eva De Baets and Silke De Bruyne have created an authentic, poetic experience that combines audio and live acting. The densely-populated city is the cinematic set for this intimate show about a lonely childhood, the resilience of young people and hope for a better future.
