BBBB IT(E)S OF OOTS – A SLAPSTICK OPERA OF GRAMMATICS

Coproduction 2025

A playful exploration of how meaning appears and slips away

Ode de Kort - BBBB ITES OF BOOTS

BBBB IT(E)S OF OOTS by Ode de Kort is a playful, physical exploration of how meaning appears and slips away. Different characters, an opera voice, a boot, and the space itself set out together on a journey. What happens between a B and a T? Can a letter stumble, sing, or glitch? Can an object become language—or lose all meaning?

Through stutters, repetitions, and fragments, an absurd and poetic game unfolds, where language constantly tips and tilts. A boot marks a space, a voice fills a gap, and a motorised performer moves unpredictably between what we grasp and what escapes understanding. Between sounds, letters, and bodies, BBBB IT(E)S OF OOTS searches for a grammar of the uncertain—inviting you to stutter along, get lost, and see differently.
