In this personal performance, Patrick Ribeiro explores whether you can truly leave your past behind—especially when it holds acts that are hard to forgive, even for yourself. Using spoken word, drill rap, poetry and the soundscape of the street, he tells the story of a boy who rejects the right to start over.

Hoogvliet, Rotterdam, late 1990s. Through a chain of events, a young boy finds his home on the streets. There, he meets kindred spirits: a uniform group, made invincible by the motto ‘strong together, all for one’. Among endless tower blocks, the street becomes his arena. Until he falls in love. A war erupts within him. He resists surrendering to something new — something that might be beautiful, but whose consequences he cannot foresee. Will he let go of everything he’s learned so far?

This performance contains scenes depicting sexual violence.
Runner seeks to explore a lesser-known aspect of sexual violence by telling a story from the perspective of a perpetrator. The Centre for Sexual Violence provides professional support to anyone who has experienced a traumatic event. If you need help, they are available free of charge, anonymously, and 24 hours a day via 0800 – 0188.

The access route from the bicycle parking area is 100 meters of sandpath.

Amidst a striking number of formal, meditative, and abstract theatrical experiences at this edition of Oerol, Runner is vulnerable, raw, and brutally honest theatre. The beautiful surroundings turn out to have deceptively misled you, yet in the end still offer a form of comfort. That is remarkable and remarkably confusing. – ★★★★ Volkskrant (Sander Janssens)
