Genre Installatie/beeldende kunst

It is important for everyone to get to know the Kingdom of the Sick, because we will all stay there one day. This installation prepares you for it. In Kunnen stenen je zachter maker? you experience the intake process. You experience the transformation that happens when you fall ill through music, text and images. The space iona&rineke have created with this installation is their version of a sick room; a little solarium, a little snuggle under a blanket and a little fever dream. A space where there is room for nature, because we need it most here; when we feel bad we take a walk and we calm down by watching fire, greenery or the movement of the sea. The installation was made on the basis of own experiences and contact with experienced pen pals, consisting of sick and caring people.    

Kunnen stenen je zachter maken? is part of the Zieke Jaren; a project by music theatre company iona&rineke that they are creating in 2023 and 2024 around the theme of being sick. With these projects, the company wants to reflect on questions about being sick and the right to health with the audience. Are you interested in becoming an expert pen pal? Read more information here.

iona&rineke is part of Lijn73, in which we work with makers who have or want to develop a special commitment to the city. This year these makers also seek out specific groups as audiences or co-makers in projects. This way Theaterfestival Boulevard continues to delve into and connect with the city and its inhabitants.
