Looking for habibi

Toneelhuis, Dood Paard, Mokhallad Rasem, Kuno Bakker, Janneke Remmers

Three actors, a singer and a musician are looking for love. 

Together, they reflect on this big emotion that can direct itself toward so much. The child you bring into the world, the person you live with, the land you live on. But also the country in which you were born, the chair your father always sat on, the smell of rosemary, the gun you use to kill your enemy. 

Using text, vocals and sound, they formulate images on a landscape of sand.

Feelings live in people, but people live in their love.
That is not a metaphor, but reality: love is not so bound to the ‘I‘ that it can only have ‘you’ as its object; it exists between the ‘I’ and the ‘you’.

Looking for habibi is the last part of a trilogy. After meeting in De verse tijd and living together in Homemade, Mokhallad Rasem and Kuno Bakker are now investigating love, in collaboration with actor Janneke Remmers, vocalist Britt Truyts and instrumentalist Peter Verhelst.
