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
NRC
“Stunning physical theatre.”
Het Parool
“Once again, De Warme Winkel is at its best; sharp, playful and a bit mischievous. Stay alert, because beneath the irony there is a real challenge to your passivity.”
Theaterkrant
“Gundhi goes all the way in every scene.”
Trouw
“Gundhi is at its strongest as a sincere exploration of the difficulties you face when trying to achieve peace. It takes courage as a maker to take that on, knowing you won’t find a solution, yet understanding how important it is to keep searching.”
