Indoor Weather
Inspired by the poetry of Inger Christensen and the eco-fiction of Jeff Vandermeer, among others, Ezra Veldhuis and Bosse Provoost deploy the entire technical theatre apparatus in order to widely open up your imagination. In Indoor Weather, light, sound and theatrical effects are on equal footing with the human performers. All these elements are involved in a mysterious game whose rules are just beyond our comprehension.

"It's fantastic how Veldhuis and Provoost make you look to the theatre with new eyes"De Standaard - ****
All these elements are involved in a mysterious game whose rules lie just beyond our comprehension. A fungus-green glow suddenly falls on stage and then spreads like an oil slick throughout the theatre; a player performs excerpts from it, the monumental 1969 cycle of poems by Danish poet Inger Christensen; soundscapes swell and shrink in space as if they were high and low pressure areas. Who influences whom in this constantly mutating environment? What is dependent on what? Is the environment a pillar or an enemy?
