Theater Artemis / Studio Julian Hetzel

This performance searches for beauty in the ugly. What one person considers tasteless, another might find beautiful. Together with the audience, we explore what is actually meant by the word 'success.' Who decides what is cool or beautiful, and why? Who determines whether something is Art or deserves to be thrown straight into the trash? Can we perhaps look at it differently? Do we care too much about the judgment of others?

Diarree is mijn lievelingskleur


Diarree is mijn lievelingskleur playfully combines explosive theater with puppetry, sculpture, action painting, and music.
-|-
It is the first production by Studio Julian Hetzel for a young audience, as part of their ongoing artistic research into the paradox of creation through destruction.

Oh shit, this smells like art!
