4Hoog

An empty playground flutters in the wind.
A handyman comes up.
He works very hard.  
Because everything has to be repaired either loosened or
screwed on or cleaned up or put away.
That doesn't always work out so well...

Because how best to actually vacuum bushes?
And is it good to swing upside down?
Can you celebrate your birthday all by yourself?
Could you hoop in the middle of a zebra crossing?

OEJ is a wordless exploration in which a player hilariously tries to take control of the environment.
The latest 4Hoog production is a madcap ode to daring to try.
To the struggle we all often have with everyday objects.

About the tips of your toes.

About trial and error.
About OEJ and AUW and also JOEPIE!

4Hoog based this performance on scientific research on ‘Risky Play’ for children.
