    DEEPENING WORKSHOP

Just sitting, with nothing to do.

ZITTEN is about meditating in the most sober, egoless form. During this theatre experiment, De Graef reaches for his most beloved language: that of silence and introspection. Join him on a 90-minute adventure in which language and silence merge.

Peter De Graef takes you along on his reflex to turn inward and then actually dive into silence with his audience. Peter knows better than anyone that “sitting” or “meditating” is the most adventurous journey you can undertake. The inner self is a rebellious vessel full of surprises. The inner self also requires care.

Peter: ‘Those who take the time to sit every day maintain their inner self. It is as normal and necessary as brushing your teeth. If we don’t do it, our inner self becomes dirty, we feel confused and our world becomes cloudy. But just like brushing your teeth, the daily habit is important. It takes trial and error, patience and kindness.’

On ZITTEN you find more information about just sitting around.

JONGE HARTEN VIEWING GUIDE

Jonge Harten offers a diverse program. But where do you start choosing? To clarify things somewhat, we have three main storylines that we are focusing on this year. You can see these lines throughout our program. So that you can easily choose which line suits you best and what you feel like doing at the moment. What are you going for?

DEEPENING

FIELD

FIELD was created to strengthen the bond with young talent and to give both the artists and the festival the opportunity to support people in the longer term and to make their “dreams” come true. We focus in particular on students who we feel (after conversations and performances) connect themselves as creators with the world beyond. In a conscious, critical and idiosyncratic way.

STAGE

A program line in which we put creative young people on stage and in which you can participate in great masterclasses yourself. We ensure that you are pampered all day long and of course we close the day with a great party, by none other than Clash!

WORKSHOP

Kom je er toch nog niet helemaal uit? Geen nood: stuur een mailtje naar info@jongeharten.nl en vraag om nadere toelichting. Vermeld de titel van de voorstelling en waar je graag meer duidelijkheid over wilt hebben (is dit iets om met mijn vriend/vriendin naartoe te gaan? het is misschien wel grappig maar toch niet vulgair? dat soort vragen). De programmeurs van het festival geven je dan persoonlijk het verlossende antwoord!
