Japanse meisjes
Firma Draak |
What image do you project? Does your outside match your inside? How would transgenders answer this question? Or gothics? Queries like these are festive meat and drink to Firma Draak.
In the richly imagined performance Japanse Meisjes [Japanese girls], Nick Bos [1989] and Mathieu Wijdeven [1991] are undergoing a transformation. They are shedding their bodies, Western culture, traditions and gender. It is time, they say, they put themselves in the position of two Japanese girls.
“East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,” the poet Kipling wrote, posing a physical challenge that Nick and Mathieu will gladly accept. During their research for this show they were advised by Jija Sohn.
This performance plays at different moments starting from 14.00. The playing times are communicated at the entrance of the tent, where tickets can also be purchased for the performances of the same day.
