ODE

You enter ODE with a small group of visitors with whom you explore without knowing exactly where you are going. During the journey you will encounter a colourful group. Maybe just as colourful as the visitors you share the experience with. The youngest is six, the oldest ninety. They all have different backgrounds and different acting experiences. Schippers&VanGucht attach value to the quick encounter. “We hope that they will join us in finding the power of meeting and will walk out smiling.” By stepping into ODE, you will surely understand what they mean. 

ODE is easily accessible for people with a hearing impairment, because there is no text in the performance.
On Wednesday 9 and Saturday 12 August, we particularly welcome people with hearing impairments. On these days there will be a performer who speaks sign language.

This performance is for adults and also for kids from the age of eight.

The installation ODE by Schippers&vanGucht uses smoke. During the performance, live performers will take you by hand.

ODE by Schippers&VanGucht will premiere on Saturday August 5th at 20:00h.

Schippers&VanGucht 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.
