We follow three travelers on their journey. They search for something to hold onto: each other, the past, and their dreams. One acts as a compass, trying to find direction. Another bends and folds like a pocketknife in impossible positions. At times, they stack themselves like a lookout tower, straining to see what’s coming. Climbing, stumbling, and struggling, they seem to hold each other in a precarious balance… or do they?

Hou Vast  is an absurd, acrobatic performance by Het Houten Huis and DeRonde/Deroo. Two acrobats and a musician use their bodies and live music to explore the delicate tension between holding on and letting go.
