THEATRE PROGRAMMING
Dinner at the Tafel van de Idee (Table of the Idea)– Amaro and various artists. This 120 metre-long table is travelling around the world and, from 11-14 August, will form the heart of the Idea Parade. It will be used not only for eating, but also as a stage for performers and for forging plans, gathering resistance and devising ideas. This time around, it will be used by dancers, storytellers and theatre school students. Culinary adventurer André Amaro will be providing a three-course dinner.
The Idea Table is a Mobile Arts concept developed by Terts Brinkhoff and built by Piet Hein Eek.
Pauvre Lola – Stephanie Louwrier. Pauvre Lola (Poor Lola) is a raw, physical performance that comes at you like a tornado, full of impudent, naughty and comic moments and keeping you continually surprised.
Lone Wolf - Freek de Jonge. Freek de Jonge plays 1 hour of theatre in 20 minutes.
NB. Freek changed the program Greatest Hits and the Nits into this solo program.
GRATIS is never for nothing – Hendrick Jan the Stuntman. There’s no charge. Feel free to arrive early! Because GRATIS is never for nothing: one good turn deserves another.
Graafmachine (Excavator) - Leonard and Jeroen. Leonard and Jeroen combine in their films, installations and performances, existential gravity with a liberating ability to rationalise, which more often than not results in hilarious situations.
