Valavond
Het Houten Huis/ De Noorderlingen |
The future. Sleep is no longer a basic human right. It’s only for those who can afford it. And what’s more, sleeping can only be done in the land of the night. Anyone who is found sleeping outside this nocturnal realm had better prepare for a hazardous trial.
At dusk, the line that divides day from night, waking from sleeping, a somnambulant set of people gathers. Sleep deprivation is clouding their perception. Distorting their world view. Driving them to the edge of sanity. Sleep is the only thing that can save them. They know it, but they will have to be creative to secure a place to crash.
Valavond [Dusk] is a richly imagined, musical theatre show, set on the edge of a forest where people hang sound asleep or loll around languorously. A drowsy site-specific work from Groningen, directed by the wide awake Fleming Gregory Caers who amazed audiences with his earlier piece, Rennen, for Kopergietery Ghent.
