Bosfest 2026 presents

DIXI.

ABSOLUUT.

ABSOLUUT. takes you to the most feared place at any festival: the portable toilet. When a festival-goer runs away to the toilets to escape the crowds, they are unexpectedly swallowed into an underground world. What follows is a spectacular journey back to the surface through dark corridors filled with brutal figures. A musical, energetic, and visual performance about friendship, escape, and getting lost.

About the makers

Arnhem-based ABSOLUUT. creates site-specific spectacle theatre that is young, fresh, and visually driven; it has the speed of a TikTok feed, the randomness of a shuffled playlist, the unpredictability of a blind date, and the humour of a Tom and Jerry scene. Their performances are raw and bombastic; with special effects, self-built sets, stunts, loud music, and a highly physical performance style, they create an intense theatrical experience that transcends the everyday.

ABSOLUUT. takes you to the most feared, avoided, and at the same time indispensable place at any festival: the portable toilet. At first glance, just a dull plastic box—but the portable toilet is no ordinary place. It is a temporary refuge where people withdraw. It’s where people poop, text, change outfits, cry, laugh, conceive, and reflect.

In DIXI., we follow five friends at a festival. After a quick toilet visit, they suddenly find themselves one friend short. Their friend is gone. Not the usual kind of “gone” that happens all the time—but truly gone. Vanished. As if the portable toilet has swallowed them whole. While the group makes its way through the pumping, sweating, flashing crowd of the festival, the missing friend sinks deeper into the brutal, blue world beneath the toilets. Forced to adapt to this new reality, they face an impossible choice: cling to what you know, or leave everything you love behind forever.
