Don’t miss THE CHANCE TO FIND YOURSELF by Benno Steinegger & Jovial Mbenga
When Benno Steinegger and Jovial Mbenga began creating The Chance To Find Yourself, they did not know each other. The two have very different cultural and economic backgrounds: one is from Tyrol (Italy), the other from Congo. Today they both live and work in Belgium.
Out of a genuine curiosity about the other, they confronted their ignorance about their own discriminatory behaviors and thoughts that affect their daily lives. In the end, that process became the result: a playful and theatrical look behind the curtain of a friendship and collaboration with many ups and downs.
How close can we really get to the other?
What role does our way of seeing play in all this?
In The Chance To Find Yourself, Steinegger & Mbenga address these questions with bold humor and abstract imagination.
Nov. 17, 2021, the performance will premiere at KAAP (Bruges) and can then be seen in advance: Nov. 20 at Brunnenpassage (Vienna) and Dec. 15 at Kuumba (Brussels)
