On the edge of tomorrow
This is not a performance you just watch; this is an experience in which your voice counts. Between dance, spoken word, quizzes and collective statements, a collage of moments and fighters unfolds. Harriet Tubman, Greta Thunberg, Hannie Schaft, Sophie Straat, they pass by like echoes of resistance, reflected in the voices of today.
‘Ask yourself a question
that’s how resistance begins
and then ask that question to someone else.’
– Remco Campert
Collectief Kompaan (Vera Wielhouwer and Tristan Stäbler) developed this interactive performance about resistance together with a young performer, Sem. In two days, the three of them developed a raw, musical and playful quest to discover what it means to take a stand.
On Saturday 22 November, eight more young performers from the North will join Collectief Kompaan to continue their exploration of resistance. That same evening, they and Sem will present the performance, and the nine young voices will take you on a journey through this universal theme.
