Ivo van Hove: "Alice in Wonderland is a story that takes a journey into an undiscovered world, that takes us along in the adventures of little Alice who, burning with curiosity, runs after a large White Rabbit and tumbles down a rabbit hole. There she finds herself in an underground world that is populated with the most wonderful creatures of which she would otherwise never have known. It is a compelling adventure that can make us dream away in these - now also literally - dark days. Alice in Wonderland is an invitation to think outside the box, to explore other ways of thinking. It begs the question: how to survive in a world that is constantly changing, where nothing is what it used to be?"
After a previous collaboration with VPRO, this is the "sequel" to Decameron, the series of stories that ran from March 23 to May 30 during the first lockdown.
The very first episode of a total of 54 episodes, with English subtitles, can be seen on Saturday 31 October at 5 p.m. via ita.nl/alice and parool.nl/video.
