The performers – five children and two adults – do not skip confrontation even for a moment: driven by the live music provided by an electric guitar, they throw themselves boldly into one extreme after another. They are leaving the standstill of the past months endured during the pandemic behind, do not tolerate any uncaring attitudes, risk everything at a time when so many are searching for certainty. „promise me” celebrates carefree attitudes with all its brutalities and beauty, and tells us of the longing for meaningful things, but also of the scars it leaves behind on our skin.

Belgian dance company kabinet k under the direction of Joke Laureyns and Kwint Manshoven is held in high esteem internationally for its impressive work with generation-spanning casts. After months of pandemic driven restrictions and cancellations, the cast met for the long planned production. „promise me” is the result of the energy generated by their reunion.
