The best of Laaktheater from the comfort of your home!
Have you never seen an opera before? Then watch this spectacular performance by OPERA2DAY and you will be hooked! An enchanting feast for the eyes and ears, full of magic and illusionism.
This project mainly focused on resonating stone sound to a space, and also recorded various soundscapes on the island. Besides, finding "something" on the island by chance and exploring improvisation. Picking up ubiquitous sound particles in space, which is waiting to be found. And then, responding to it or just simply listening. As a musician, Shoichi Iwamoto tried to capture the island's current condition. At one time, Toru Takemitsu asked us "Can we actually hear?" Do we have flexible ears to listen actively when confronting "the world"? This is an attitude to life.
The actors from Polish theatre group MEM will lift you up with a poem by Beata Borucka, “Smart Granny”. Polish spoken, Dutch subtitled.
OPERA2DAY joined forces together with the Nederlandse Reisopera and Studio Drift for the production of “L'Orfeo” by Claudio Monteverdi.
Laaktheater Thuis is the digital platform of Laaktheater. Laaktheater is the theatre of district Laak. We want to bring art and culture closer to the people. Just around the corner, in our theatre you can see and experience art and get involved in many different ways. With Laaktheater Thuis we come to you in your living room. You can watch performances, documentaries and take part in art classes on your mobile phone, computer or iPad.
This is one of the ways we want to make art personal. As Laaktheater we want to make the programme with people who are eager to share their love for culture; their love of film, photography, (youth) theatre or music.
Our programme is created by people with ideas who just drop in and we also meet people with ideas in the neighbourhood. And all these people with all these ideas together result in a wonderful programme that we are incredibly proud of.
Would you like to contribute to our (digital) programme? Then send us an e-mail at: sigrid@laaktheater.nl or info@laaktheater.nl. Then together we can explore what and how we can do something for Laak.
