[THIS PERFORMANCE IS CANCELED]

Collectief Benno 

Location:

duration of the performance:

In Denver, Colorado, a lot could go unnoticed. Until Gerald Foos appeared, who possibly went the least noticed in his noticing of the unnoticed. Foos bought a motel and built the ultimate voyeuristic dream, here he could see everything which was normally hidden behind closed doors. And for years he too stayed hidden. 

But now we are here. 
We sneak through his motel; shamelessly we reside in his rooms and hide in the crevices. Through text, physical acting, live-camera and projections on an abundance of Venetian blinds the story of the voyeur Gerald Foos gets told. 

Although, is this story his? 

A couple, that has been together for three years, research how to relate to a world of ever watchful eyes. 
A playful performance about sincerity, sex, love and the truth. 

What do you show, what stays concealed and what remains when someone watches you?
