Alums in Dear, Deer Boy at Het Nationale Theater

In a remote convent, a clandestine religious order is said to have overseen the birth of creatures between humans and other mammals. Bodies kept alive by force or separated from their hybrid parts in order to be catalogued. One rumor persists of a deer-boy who survived and managed to escape.

Dear, Deer Boy is a non-linear piece where the deer-boy undergoes an EMDR session and blurred memories resurface one after another. It is the staging of a domestic conspiracy: a story that a child believed to be true growing up in the provinces.
