Opening night 2011, April 13
BABEL book of errors 1-5 is a play for 12-14 year old kids, on the struggle between the longing for understanding and unity on the one side and the eternal mistrust and developping individual identity on the other. Humor and bitternes are alternating in the playful fantasy on the Biblical story of Babel, written for the cooperation of Teatro Elsinor and Theater de Citadel. Although being played in two languages, both the Italian and the Dutch audience can understand every word of the misunderstanding.

Here come the European Boat People by Marco Renzi
Opening night 2013, January 1
The performance is based on a kind of creative and amusing, even dramatic, turning upside down of the actual worldwide situation. It imagines that a series of factors, such as climate change and the discovery of new materials, will cause the collapse of Europe and of all the Western countries, which will be replaced by the African countries as the new economic rulers. So, rafts and crafts of all kinds change their course, bringing Italians and Europeans to search for jobs (dirty, dangerous, humiliating or whatever) in the new leading countries of the world.

“It all started with Gyuri Lakos, who came to our class because he’s flunked” says Boti, an 8th grader in an ordinary Hungarian elementary school. The structure of the class immediately changes when this “new guy” appears on the scene. The girls all adore him, the boys either take his side and follow his example (smoking weed and being rebellious) or hate him, like Boti does...

Verhalen van het Schoolplein (Schoolyard Stories)
Not everyone will come in an football stadium or in a museum, but each of us has spend an important time of his youth in the schoolyard, a dramatic place to be. The place where you will grow from child to an teenager. The place where you won marbles, where you fought and lost your heart. Adventures and stories that provide a stream of indelible memories.
