Rachid Larouz – “Wakker Worden”

You wake up. Not with an alarm clock, but with a sudden realization. Your eyes open, and slowly you find your way back up. But every advantage has its disadvantage: as soon as you are truly awake, you also see with crystal clarity how absurdly you were sometimes behaving. Wakker Worden is a show about falling and getting back up again. About desire, sometimes for the wrong things, sometimes finally for the right ones. About how we get lost in our own convictions, and about that liberating moment when you catch yourself and can laugh about it. Because only when you know how deep you have fallen, do you know how good it feels to get back up. With humor and self-mockery, Rachid Larouz takes the audience on a personal, honest, and witty awakening. Rachid’s third full-length show is one full of stumbles, confusion, and enlightenment. An ode to the fun of life, even when things go completely wrong. Because sometimes you have to fall hard first, in order to truly wake up.
