In Beginnings, Frascati Producties presents theatrical research by new makers. Following a month of work, duo David Roos & Tabor Idema (Toneelacademie Maastricht 2022) and Maja Grzeczka (ATD Mime 2020) present their initial findings in a double bill running from Thursday 27 thru Saturday 29 October. 

From 15 thru 17 December, Beginnings will return, with Just van Bommel (Performance, toneelacademie Maastricht 2022) and Nazar Rakhmanov (SNDO ATD 2022). 

There’s a word missing in the world

If you take a good look around, you’ll see that there’s a name for everything. And yet, if you look a little longer, you’ll see that not everything can be said. There’s a word missing. Who will say it?

Now is always just before, me is an m and an e, love is a word like stapler. The things you feel, see, are, only exist once they’ve become letters. How can you share something about the world, let alone about yourself, when words fall short?

In their own physical language of forms, moving between slapstick and performance art, Tabor Idema and David Roos explore the boundaries of expression. There’s a word missing in the world is their third collaboration.

However strange this may seem – we continued to move

In  However strange this may seem – we continued to move Matteo Rita Bifulco and Estefano Romani explore what it means to be a person – a human being – in this time, in relation to one another. They ask how archetypes shape our communal thought on being human and influence the relationships we build with one another. Starting out from the notion of trauma and stigmatisation, this production claims space for beauty, sensitivity, sensuality, the explicit, the rough and the direct, without fear. 

This is a double bill. The progamme starts at 20:00 in Frascati 2.

About David Roos & Tabor Idema 

Tabor Idema (IJmuiden, 1999) and David Roos (Amsterdam, 2000) graduated together from Toneelacademie Maastricht institute of performative arts in 2022, as a performer and an actor respectively. Moving between mime, text-based theatre and performance art, they investigate how two people relate to one another, and to the space they find themselves in. Their work is an ongoing duel, in search of a common understanding. They are interested in themes such as language and images, reconciliation and rejection, truth and misunderstanding. They have previously presented work at the Love At First Sight Festival in Antwerp and the Jonge Harten Festival in Groningen.  

David Roos has previously worked with Simon Stone, Ivo van Hove and Ontroerend Goed, among others. Tabor Idema has previously created works that have been shown at the Limburg Biënnale 2022 and the Walk Listen and Create Festival in Prespa (GR). Alongside their individual paths, David and Tabor continue as a makers’ duo. 

About Maja Grzeczka 

Maja Grzeczka is an Amsterdam-based Polish theatre-maker and performer. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Dance and Body Studies at the Poznan University of Social Sciences (2015), she moved to the Netherlands to study Mime at the Amsterdam School of the Arts, from which she graduated in 2020 and where she’s currently working as a teacher in movement research.  
 
In the work of Maja (Grzeczka), different contemporary dance and improvisation techniques form the backbone of a layered, raw, and unpolished vocabulary. As a performer, she’s worked with Schweigman&, Wild Vlees and Marcelo Evelin (Demolition Incorporada), among others. In particular, the collaboration with Demolition Incorporada played a significant role in the development of her own language as a young theatre-maker.
