The Underground


The Underground is inspired by Notes from the Underground by Fjodor Dostojevski; a monologue by a man who has had to take many blows in his life. "Within this theme, Rik van den Bos wrote a phenomenal, topical text, about someone who cannot accept how the world works, who fails to join the rules of the game and retreats to the margins with all his spiritual wealth." - said Guy Weizman, director.

The Underground is an absurdist, funny, and tragic performance by Guy Weizman and was previously selected by the professional jury for the Dutch Theater Festival. With a starring role for Sanne den Hartogh as the cabaret-like band leader who flawlessly strings together social criticism and personal suffering with dark humor. Den Hartogh received a Louis d'Or nomination for this performance.

Reviews

De Theaterkrant (critic's choice)

‘Guy Weizman has excelled himself, bringing together Den Hartogh’s fiery monologue, the multifaceted music of Asko|Schönberg and Slagwerk Den Haag, Maison the Faux’ exuberant costumes and Ascon de Nijs’ ingenious set.’

De Volkskrant

‘Actor Sanne den Hartogh brings the protagonist Will, who turns his back on everyone and everything, spectacularly to life.’

Dagblad van het Noorden

'Superb acting in The Underground where theatre, dance, music and circus intertwine perfectly'

NRC

'Crackling musical theatre of great allure'
