The End - Part 2

With The End - part 2, Arno Schuitemaker creates an equally impressive and intimate look on our ability to see ourselves in others, and others in ourselves. By mixing movement, music, light, and voice with recorded and live video, the performance plays with past and present, and blurs differences between performer and spectator, seeing and being seen. 

Arno Schuitemaker: “I think much of what we are dealing with at the moment comes down to rebalancing our relationships. If our ability to see ourselves in others can create intimacy, can that then become a catalyst for change? Even if that means first freeing ourselves from ghosts that haunt us and distort the present, and then letting a new part begin.”

Performanes by Arno Schuitemaker are praised for the inventive forms he creates for themes that lie at the intersection where the intimate and the universal meet. Last year, 30 appearances out of darkness was ranked in the top 5 best performances of the season by newspaper de Volkskrant. Scènes magazine called it the “must-see of the year”.

Following the performance, you are warmly invited to join us in the theater to share your thoughts and engage in a lively exchange about the questions raised by the performance. This dialogue, called “Blikverruimer,” provides the audience with the opportunity to delve into the performance while simultaneously getting to know each other's perspectives. The discussion will be led in English by Isabel Sheridan, an experienced program maker and moderator who approaches social issues from an interdisciplinary perspective with an open and critical mindset.
