Levelless
We feel that we’re on the eve of a great event
The kilogram is vaporizing The meter is shrinking The particle accelerator in Geneva has been put in motion and the centre of the earth has shifted slightly to the left Nothing seems to be the way it was or is It’s time for us to find new bearings For years we thought left was just left and right just right We won’t make that mistake again.

Nothing is really difficult“Nothing is Really Difficult ” is our hit show, our first “mobile location
theater” production. For this production we’ve build a life-sized wooden box, in which we made a recognizable, physical visual show about nothing, three men full of self mockery and vicarious shame. Male poetry for men and women. With this show we won the Adelaide Fringe Award for Best Theater production 2011 and were shortlisted for the Adelaide Fringe Award for Most Innovative Theater production 2011 and the 2012 Total Theater Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Three men Three men senseless Three men together in a box Three men together alone Three men without three women Three men don’t hesitate Three men smell something fishy Three men unshaven Three men don’t lose Three men with their tails between their legs Three men, bon apetit Three men can’t push a river Three men don’t remember Three men covered in dust Three men, last man standing Three men without lipstick Three men without there rightful owners Three men what’s there when there’s nothing left Assembly Festival Edinburgh Scotland 2/26 augustus 2012 Credits Concept: Theatergroep WAK Starring: Dorus van der Meer, Bart Strijbos, Toon Kuijpers/Roel Voorbij Director: Martin Hofstra Design: Bart Strijbos Technics: Koos Hopman/Adriaan de Geus

Loop
Is it possible to live large and adventurous from 9 to 5? In “LOOP” three men live their life in a world occupied by books. The books are their work, lifeline and habitat. The daily routine consists of strange but very strict rules, carefully monitored by the three men themselves. So they spent their lives in a save and recognizable loop. But sometimes the urge to step out of line gets to big. Then things go seriously wrong and a different reality comes barging in to their save little world. Once the storm is over, there is nothing else to do then to pick up the pieces and step back in the loop. Please, (don’t) let this happen again….
