De Volkskrant about OPSTAND ★★★★
‘Opstand is impressive and provokes lengthy discussions afterwards about the place resistance occupies in your life.’
Theaterkrant – Critic’s Choice:
‘The performance works like a charm, thanks to the abstract stage design, the fragmented structure of the texts, and the slight disorientation caused by the forced movement.’
OPSTAND
The world is on fire and there is a lot at stake. For OPSTAND, theatre maker Marte Boneschansker talks to various people who are joining the resistance. Climate activists, feminists and anti-racism fighters, but also anarchists and angry farmers. What motivates them to take action? From mass demonstrations to small, silent protests: resistance is part of our humanity.
OPSTAND is a theatrical audio performance and collective exercise in resistance. A hopeful attempt to get the silent majority moving. Who forms the counterforce? When do you say no? Discover the rebel in yourself during this immersive performance about resistance, hope and standing up for your ideals. You do have influence. It makes sense. Give a damn.
