Booth, a gifted lighting designer in addition to choreographer, previously collaborated with Club Guy & Roni’s Poetic Disasters Club for the performance Like a Prayer, shown at De Parade in 2023. The production received rave reviews from NRC and de Volkskrant, among others, and was even part of De Parade’s prestigious closing gala.
“Booth creates magical moments in Like a Prayer, in which he explores intergenerational traumas within families.” - de Volkskrant
Lunatics & Poets | Village Storm
In Village Storm Lunatics & Poets explore the world of instinctive desires embedded in human beings. But also desires stemming from societal demands fueled by advertisements, social media and celebrity culture. Inspired by Louise Glück's collection A Village Life and philosopher René Girard's theories about “borrowed” desires - and our yearning for imitating those we admire - a penetrating portrait unfolds about how desire plays a role in our daily lives and how it affects our identity. Equally recognizable and confrontational.
Anna Jacobs and Hanna van der Meer are known for their impressive set and costume designs and cinematic imagery. For Club Invites 2022-23, they previously created the poetic collage performance Postcards from a Better Place.
De dancers in these performances are members of our Poetic Disasters Company – the junior company of Club Guy & Roni.
“Image, sound and movement form a beautifully fused trinity that intrigues from the opening scene to the last second.” – Theaterkrant on Postcards from a Better Place
- Each piece lasts 30 minutes and there is a 20-minute intermission between the performances.
