The best of Laaktheater from the comfort of your home!
A 2019 recording of “Het Landhuis” by theatre group Spontaan: Doña Antonia welcomes a regiment of wounded soldiers to the country manor of Doña Leonata to regain strength. It does not take long before the next battle erupts. This time it is about love.
"We have to flee" is a moving play that is for a large part based on the true story of a girl from The Hague during the years of the occupation, 1940-1945.
Grandpa Jos reads stories to his grandchildren every week. And now he also reads at Laaktheater Thuis. This week: “Roodkapje” (Little Red Riding Hood).
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.
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.
