Nachtwacht - NITE

Muziek

After overwhelming reactions, nominations and sold-out halls, Nachtwacht returns. What started as a radical theater experience grew into a performance that did not let go of the audience and makers. In 2027, Night Watch will return to the night.

Night Watch is no ordinary performance. It is a three and a half hour interdisciplinary farewell rave in which play, dance and live music merge into a total sensory experience.A heartbeat falters, swells and turns into an unstoppable beat that takes the audience towards the unknown.

In the center is Mr., a man in the last months of his life.As he prepares for the end, his children struggle with a new time. They balance between loyalty, desire and the need to choose who they want to be.
With a sharp but loving look, Nachtwacht interweaves humor and melancholy. The performance holds up a mirror and looks critically and empathetically at aging, mortality and the Dutch healthcare system. At the end of the night something can break open. A moment of liberation. An opportunity to choose who you are again.
