IK

BonteHond |

Share this show

“If nobody’s watching, what does it matter what I do? I might as well not be here.” A depressed soul, confiding their misery to the bathroom mirror? Not if it’s BonteHond speaking. Their IK [ME] is a hard-boiled comedy. Its theme: finding purpose and overestimating yourself.

The BonteHond family is starting therapy, albeit with a slightly irregular therapist. But they need it: father is knee-deep in a midlife crisis; mother suffers from extreme peanut allergy; they never see their adolescent daughter in real life, only in her vlogs, and auntie is a nasty narcissist. Cheerfully, they all go in search of their true selves. And an audience.
