You are escorted into a hotel, far away from your daily life. It is a faraway hotel for special people. People, who in these times are regarded as strange. Because after the last economic crisis, everyone wants to pick up the thread again as soon as possible. Everyone wants everything to become normal again, there has to be order and calm.  All strange creatures should keep quiet. All dirt should be swept away. With Dreft. Lots of Dreft.

Ivan Vrambout worked with five youngsters from Genk on a theatre show for Plankenkoorts (Stage fright), an annually recurring initiative of Culture Centre Genk. Between September and November the group met twice a week and created the show Hotel zwart-wit (Hotel black-white) based on discussions, improvisations and writing exercises.
