In 2021 verhuisde Pranay naar Amsterdam; hij bracht zijn dromen met zich mee, net als veel andere immigranten voor hem. Dromen hebben soms tijd nodig om uit te komen en dus wacht hij vol goede hoop. Maar de tijd dringt - vorig jaar werd hij 40. Is het al te laat? Misschien is alles al besloten...
In een theater van karton zet hij zijn leven op het toneel. Welke spoken uit het verleden achtervolgen hem naar dit toneel?
ENG
In 2021 Pranay moved to Amsterdam; brought his dreams with him, as many other immigrants before him. Dreams sometimes need a time to come true; so he waits, he still believes. But time is running out - last year he turned 40. Is it already too late? Maybe everything has been decided… In a theatre made from cardboard he stages his life. What ghosts from the past haunt this stage? Pranay’s dramedy is a mixture of puppet theatre, storytelling, stand-up and ritual.
This is Me. deals with issues of identity, being an immigrant, gay and an artist.
This Is Me. combines youth, history, dreams and drama in a way never seen before.
"Dit ben ik was an experience for the senses. My partner and I greatly enjoyed the experience, traversing the life, questions and difficulties many people experience around work, moving countries and religion." Luke Fairhead
"In his very own, unique and one of a kind way, theatermaker Pranay tells the story of his life. From the Polish town where it all began to the city of Amsterdam where he finds himself at forty, and all big and small events of life that happened in between. He transformed his life into a dazzling show; fun, full of surprises, twists and turns. Pranay shows us his art in a rich variety of topics and a mix of theatrical techniques, effortlessly jumping from handmade visual props and decor to live music, from video to a sketch in interesting costume, and from a funny anecdote to sensitive, beautifully delivered songs. It is a wonderful spectacle, entertaining and different, certainly something to go see and experience yourself!" Iris Brouwers (text writer, language teacher)
