performance
A new adaptation by Rik van den Bos of Ibsen’s classic The Master Builder. The successful project developer Halvard Solness loses control of the steering wheel. In a flash between life and death, Hilde Wangel – the angel who comes to get him –appears. Before his eyes, she plays for him the film of his life. A hallucinating night ride in ten scenes.
design
A solidified explosion. A car hangs on the stage, a total loss. Its parts hang throughout the space, and depict the paused image of a car smashing apart. There is tension in the dynamics of the image: it is standing still, but your brain is constantly turning it into movement. This also applies to the suspended objects; a car tyre that should not be floating in space defies gravity. A concrete, everyday object takes on a poetic dimension when it is hanging, and rises above itself, as it were. The thorough opening up of the car is like dissecting a body, with special materials and shapes emerging, hanging puzzlingly in space.
