Lake Life

How changeable and fluid are we? How do we tangle with each other and the world? Lake Life is a collaborative game, a puzzle, and a celebration – step in with two feet and maybe leave with three. The game is transformative, imaginary and real. The audience is invited to explore unprecedented spaces, a dreamlike world of imaginary bodies and self-transformation, where altered senses become palpable and the boundaries of identity are fluid. While the socio-physical fragility created by the pandemic may be experienced differently by young and old, the (re)discovery of trust, fun, and free imagination is a collective concern. How can we break free from the roles we’re expected to play in the outside world? What connects us all? Perhaps it’s the possibility of imagining a new world where we can reinvent our ways from scratch…

For people aged 10 and above! The can performance can be experienced in either Dutch or English. The performance is participative, with light physical contact.

Review

“Besides arranging a highway for people toward an alternative form of relaxation and reflection (what more could you want from theater art?), Lake Life also provides a kind of anthropological sampling, because you do and go through so much in a short period of time with people you don’t otherwise know or have chosen.”

The Dutch Theaterkrant wrote a review about Lake Life: read it here.

“Dare we compare ourselves to these Changelings? The mere thought of such a
possibility inspires, intrigues, confronts or even scares us. This lake is the long
forgotten limitless imagination of our childhood.”
