Another great year for fishing

How do you live in the now? In a world with never-ending click-options trying to continually distract you?
How do you stay true to yourself when everything around you is screaming it can be better, faster, nicer?

Actor Tom Struyf and dancer Nelle Hens are looking for the emergency exit. With the help of a wide range of spin-doctors, psychiatrists, journalists and philosophers they try to unravel what happens in the backrooms of the rat race. Who’s running the show?

Another great year for fishing is the adorned story of a life where fiction and reality become more and more intertwined. A play about the question how to lead a normal life in an ever-changing society that constantly requires a great deal of adaptability.
