Gundhi
After their German-language debut Der Bus nach Dachau was selected for the prestigious Berliner Theatertreffen, Schauspielhaus Bochum invited De Warme Winkel again to spark a fuse in the German powder keg. After the German performance series, Gundhi, with a new Dutch cast, embarks on a tour through the Netherlands and Flanders.

Gundhi
An armed yoga group, after their daily Kalashnikov-asana, holds a mirror up to their radicalized international following: can we achieve our ideals without the use of weapons? In a time when even NATO countries do not rule out the use of violence to conquer territories, De Warme Winkel explores the viability of pacifism. If not for now, then perhaps for the future?

Gandhi plays a supporting role for a change; the performance is as loosely draped around his biography as the cloths around his slender waist.
REVIEWS ABOUT DE WARME WINKEL
