OUR RECENT PERFORMANCES

BLOOD FOR ROSES

The performance The Nature of Hunting c a lecture meets the wild unpredictability of movements? The one hour long performance on the border between dance, theatre and performance, will give the audience a different look upon the joy of hunting. With loose associations and the well-aimed movements of a hunter, the artists ask whether it is perhaps a human necessity to kill once a while. Are we wilder than we think? Or is human brutality only more visible in a civilized world?

DELICATE SPECIMEN

Her voice sounds comforting through your headsets. Biologist Annie Zuiderwijk of the University of Amsterdam conducts you across the Noorderbegraafplaats. The guided tour starts off as a scientific excursion. Yet it slowly transforms into a romantic rendez-vous with the life of the graveyard: lush with greenery, melodic birds and bizarre insects. Quietly in the background, the gravediggers are ever present. But is their’s the only presence?

BURN, BABY, BURN

It's evening. It's dead quiet at the petrol station. Suddenly people approach, coming from all sides. Cars, car freaks and passers-by. Brutal carchoreografies tear through the silence. Images of people and cars appear on the wall of the petrol station. Of people with their cars. The open space fills with fragments of conversation.
