Eclips: thought-provoking moments within an industrial warehouse

Theater collective The Glasshouse presents Eclips, directed by Kees Roorda. The work is built upon simple theatrical devices that generate profound consequences. The performance takes place in an almost empty, enormous storage room at the Jaarbeurs. The performers guide us through different areas of this space as the story, which guides the piece, unfolds. With the usage of a few props, simple narrative techniques, almost no lights, and the elegant music of three saxophones, they manage to bring about a unique environment. Within the clean openness of this industrial space, they generate moments of intimacy and immense beauty. Through a few stories and the interactions among characters, the performers engage people's imagination and effectively drive the audience into a state of philosophical reflection. Eclips will continue playing at Festival a/d Werf from the 25th until the 28th of May.
