and daughter pays a visit every day? What is mother forgot she has been waiting for the end and that women that visits her every day, is her daughter? What if so much things that hasn't been spoken of never find words. For ever waiting... God's Waiting room is a performance about the most intimate relations of all. The one between Mother and daughter. |
Theatre group Carver
Theater-group Carver was formed in 1989 by Leny Breederveld, René van 't Hof and Beppie Melissen. The group took its name from its first production, Carver- put yourself in my shoes, which was based on the work of the American author Raymond Carver. An apt choice, because the group has a similar ability to sketch poignant, tragicomic portraits of everyday life, depicting people condemned to each other's company. At the outset of each production, Beppie Melissen proposes a setting or shared domain which serves as an anchor point for a web of improvisations. Shars of experience, detailed observations, personal interaction and existential fragments are intertwined to form a theatrical documentary documentary portraying the lives of ordinary people, fighting solitude and the unrelenting world around them.This approach has resulted in a series of deeply intimate productions exposing the absurdity of human existence in a world where humour is the key to survival.
Theater-group Carver has created more then twenty productions in the past twenty years. Two productions (The White Hall, 1995 and Fred, 1997) have been adapted for national television. One of the later productions, Pi, Po, Pu, Pa & Pé, has been adapted for national television as well and was broadcasted in 2003. Cafe Lehmitz (1991) toured Switzerland and Ware Liefde (True Love, 1994) toured Spain (Festival de Otono - Madrid) and the United Kingdom and Overstag (2002) was performed at the Boulevard of the Broken Dreams in Barcelona (Spain).
