A theatrical journey into an uncertain future...
Every day you thunder into the future, like the passenger of a city bus on untravelled roads. One moment, the bus goes smoothly straight ahead, everything is fine and life is one big adventure. The next moment, the bus swerves, has to brake suddenly or the road is full of bumps. Then you search for grip, otherwise you tumble. So what is your handhold in the bus? How do you keep yourself standing? Hop on board and discover the hazy beyond.
For Festival Nabij, I created the music theatre performance Bestemming Onbekend (Destination Unknown) with a motley crew of players from the Tilburg area. Festival Nearby is an annual event by Studio Assisië at Landpark Assisië, a residential area for people with mental or multiple disabilities. The aim is to promote exchange and talent development between residents, locals and staff through culture.
