Kikker Stelt Voor: Junebug

June leads an invisible existence in a cabin in the deep south of the US. Surrounded by the woods and her beloved Angel, she spends her days in front of the TV – until the signal starts to falter. With the noise at our heels, we dash through an American dream landscape of TV mediums, takeout burritos, foggy motel rooms, and ghosts from the past.
Junebug pulls you into a hallucinatory sound world where reality and imagination seamlessly blend into one another. Theatre maker Anna Verkouteren Jansen mixes theater, cinema, podcast, and a touch of Efteling into a fully immersive experience. In this film, the screen simply looks back.
Surround sound and cinematic storytelling immerse you in June's world of escapism, grief, Mariah Carey, and empty rooms. Lots and lots of empty rooms. Junebug shifts reality aside a bit and reveals what moves behind the curtains - a world that is not visible, but all the more palpable.
Junebug is an English spoken performance.
