"Words sometimes come back. Words from my past. Thoughts of unimportant things... that suddenly have meaning. Feelings that intoxicate me again and make me crash. No one can bring them back, no one can explain them. The same thing will never be said again. No one can do the same thing again. Dad can never go back to the day he closed the door and went to war."
In a merry-go-round of questions and thoughts, Bo spins until the world fades away, his arms spread wide, his eyes closed, lost in a whirlwind of fantasy. He sets off into another world, where worries and fears gently drift away.
Bo is alone. Dad is no longer there - he was lost in the war. His mother has stayed, she is desperate and won't answer any questions. But Bo has so many questions. One thing is clear, he has to find the answers himself. He finds refuge in computer games. Here he builds his own world, fights giant shrimps, conquers dragons with his virtual friend Onno and lets his imagination run wild. And then there's Hein, who teaches him to play the guitar, tells him about his travels to India and tells him about Buddha.
His story unfolds between dream and reality, in which he learns that life is more than the shadows of the past. An awakening, a new beginning, in which he is not just the boy who was lost.
The play "Feet in the Sky" by Michael Alexander Müller addresses the trauma and emotional strain that the absence of a parent can have on children. It shows how fantasy and reality can merge when the boundaries of understanding become blurred. A touching story about the difficulty of accepting reality and the need to focus on the present and the future.
