BBBB IT(E)S OF OOTS – A SLAPSTICK OPERA OF GRAMMATICS
A playful, physical exploration of how meaning appears and slips away
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 on a journey together. 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. BBBB IT(E)S OF OOTS searches among sounds, letters and bodies for a grammar of the uncertain – inviting you to stumble along, get lost, and see differently.
