BOBBY Here for you

The city lights are blinding 
Close the blinds 
Board up the windows 
Kill the city 
Shut it all out 

In the solo BOBBY Here for you, directed by Peter Seynaeve, Romy Louise Lauwers paints a picture of the inner world of a contemporary hermit against the horizon of the major challenges of the 21st century. How can I care for myself, when we, as a society, seem incapable or unwilling to care for each other and our world? 

 After years of artistic kinship, Romy and Peter developed a shared alter ego: Bobby. 
 

Bobby has retreated into an apartment, never goes outside, and observes the world from a window. Bobby takes daily walks on Google Maps. During one of these walks, Bobby senses the end of the world.  

Bobby is a visionary.  

Bobby is your neighbor but also God.
