13.05.25 – 15.05.25, Entre-deux, drama project by Roos De Graeve & Cyrille Ribel

In Entre-deux, Roos and Cyrille take you on an honest, raw and sometimes painfully recognisable journey. A journey through their relationship, their doubts, their desires. They put themselves and each other under a magnifying glass.

Amidst the ruins of what once was, they search for what could still be. They speak as lovers, as strangers, as players in each other's lives. They take on the roles of friend, actress, director, mother, doctor, lovers, victor, student. Each identity slides over the other like a layer, until it is no longer clear where play ends and truth begins. In a landscape of roles and masks, they try to find each other again. With nothing but words, silences and the courage to expose themselves.

Entre-deux is not a linear story. It is a compilation of monologues and dialogues from existing plays, including Neoptolemos by Koos Terpstra, Scenes from a Marriage by Ingmar Bergman, and films such as Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach and Persona by Ingmar Bergman. 

It is an attempt. A search. For each other. For themselves. For connection. For a place where they can start over – or perhaps just let go. About the elusive nature of human relationships, about everything that needs to be said – and what is perhaps better left unsaid. About what it means to be together.

‘I understand, I understand why you're silent...’ – a sentence that lingers in the air, just like the silence between two people who want to say everything but don't know how.

Entre-deux – Between what was and what could still be.
