Collectief Het Paradijs: Vormen van opdringerigheid

Co-direction Nicole Beutler, on tour in 2022

After the success of their piece Paradijsvertraging, theatre collective Het Paradijs now plunges into a triptych of intrusiveness, directed by Ko van den Bosch, Jakop Ahlbom and Nicole Beutler!

Eight people crammed in a subway. Eight people alone in their apartment. Eight people stuck in their own heads. In the triptych 'Vormen van opdringerigheid' (Shapes of intrusion), Collectief Het Paradijs examines three perspectives on the ever increasing violation of personal space. In the physical proximity of other people in public space, the desire to be seen collides with the confrontation that this implies. The outside world intrudes into our home by a constant stream of messages, news and stimuli. And the private space of our own head is flooded with thought, wants and needs. Every perspective is directed by another director.
