Sammy Van den Heuvel — scenography

Each space grows within a specific frame that is formed through conversations; with the director, with the choreographer, with the text, the music, the material, with the dramaturg, with the production team, with the artists and builders in the workshops, with the stage technicians. Ultimately, the built space engages in a conversation with the performers, and, through them, in a conversation with the audience.

#truth: ein sokratischer Abend 

There is less and less consensus. This we can agree on. We feel unsettled, as if in a Socratic dialogue: narratives and truths that previously seemed certain are being called into question.

Two actors examine Socrates and the post-factual age. A dialogue about democracy, truth, and post-truth with a philosopher who knew that he knew nothing and: what questions needed to be asked as democracy declined.

The actors stand in front of a closed white curtain, a curtain that is in fact a wall. Exposed and pressed up against the audience, they construct their dialogue in the space that is left, the space they share with the audience.
