A new generation of creators. One challenge. A day and a half.

During Jonge Harten Festival, Likeminds Factory (Amsterdam) and Noordstaat (Groningen) are joining forces for the first time. Under the artistic direction of Robbie Wallin, young creators and artists will create a completely new performance in just 36 hours.

The 36 Hour Project is an encounter between the North and the Randstad, between theatre, music, spoken word and performance. It is a laboratory full of energy, where self-taught creators – who do not necessarily come from an art background – experiment, exchange ideas and push their boundaries together.

What can you expect?
A raw, new performance by a group of young creators who bring their vision to life in record time. Don’t expect a traditional theatre play, but a mix of disciplines: from performances in unexpected places to pop concert vibes, from theatrical dramaturgy to improvisation. A performance that only exists once – and then disappears again.

About Likeminds Factory
Likeminds Factory is a programme for young, self-taught creators from all disciplines: music, dance, film, spoken word, theatre and hybrid crossovers. Eight selected participants work together for a year, attend workshops given by professionals and create performances, including a solo performance. Factory offers creators the opportunity to develop their skills and find their own path in the art world.
