From the jury
“The way Infinity Forever links existential pain to such an inventive form and places it within the wider cosmos is nothing short of wondrous.”
After the break-up with her lover, Lulu discovers a black hole in her room. It is not that big, yet it sucks everything in and then spits it out. She gets caught up in a whirlpool of memories, dreams and confusing feelings.
Yet she still has to get up. Have breakfast with her sleepy alien father. Witness the daily horror show that is supposed to represent her ‘school’. Everything goes on as usual, while Lulu seems stuck in time.
In ‘INFINITY FOREVER’, Mats Vandroogenbroeck, Jonas Baeke and Maria Magdalena de Cort musically explore the sudden feeling that everything has disappeared, even though the world just keeps spinning. But Lulu can only move in the opposite direction. She sees everything flash by again and again and again: the confused look in her ex’s eyes, the creation of the universe and all the words she still wanted to say to him.
Mats and Jonas, creators of the acclaimed theatre production ‘Bambiraptor’, experiment again with language and images in this new performance together with Maria Magdalena. They try to get a grip on the moment when words fail to describe a feeling that is far too big: a broken heart.

Reviews
"Onthoud hun namen: Jonas Baeke en Mats Vandroogenbroeck. Na hun uiterst plezierige debuut
‘Bambiraptor’ bevestigt nu ook ‘Infinity Forever’ dat het jeugdtheater zich in de handen mag wrijven met
zo’n duo. (...) 'Infinity Forever’ ziet eruit als een bewegend prentenboek. Of als theater met levensgrote illustraties. Jonas en Mats leveren opnieuw een van de beste jeugdvoorstellingen van het seizoen."
"Een beeldende en muzikale theaterparel over hoe verdriet je kan opslokken, en hoe je daar weer kan
uitkomen. De makers vinden de perfecte balans tussen ontroering en lichte tonen, in een uitgesproken vormgeving en speelstijl die de belevingswereld van het hoofdpersonage op prachtige wijze theatraal en invoelbaar maken."
