In his eternal quest for finding the Story of all Stories, master storyteller Thomas Dudkiewicz storms the stage with his never ending story. His new solo performance The Last Chapters: An existential, immersive experience in which a storyteller dives into the mind of the comatose actor ‘Thomas’ in a desperate final attempt to bring him back to consciousness. 

The storyteller drags Thomas into a personal odyssey along the edges of the imagination and the Self. The subconscious is defined by chaos, the narrative by order. But the subconscious fights back. A cosmic battle of life and death.

Just like in Bedtime Stories the soundscape plays a vital role in the immersive power of this performance. This time Tomas' uses a binaural audio systeem. A medium with which he explores and conjures infinite worlds to bring the ultimate story to life.

  • Duur: 90 min. 
  • Let op: voorstelling bevat lichte stroboscopische effecten.
