“ The show captured ecosystems in perdition with haunting plastic beauty, strained social relationships with exaggerated yet life-like masks, and a simple story of love between two fragile puppets that got lost at sea in a storm … or was that a dream, we will never know. This is the suggestive power of this director’s work, that is much needed today.”
Manifesto Artistic Team: director Carlos García Estévez, assistant director and co-creator Paige Allerton, lighting designer Paulo Serantes, worked hard to deliver the message of the more than 120 devising cast members in this multidisciplinary show. The young artists participating in this process were asked to talk about their anxieties, fears and desires for the society they see today in the Netherlands, and globally in this highly connected, informationalized world that has been gifted with social media.
“ The voice of youth today had a powerful result! ”
