Theater

This show is in English.

This show is a collection of three independent pieces developed by Jacqueline Korevaar, Sinéad O’Brien and Naomi Namutebi. Each of the storytellers is bringing their own interpretation of the festival theme: desire. The subject gives the artists a lot of room to play with: from desire for love and forgiveness to dark urges that turn us into monsters. Each artist tackles the task with their own unique approach: Sinéad is famous for telling traditional Irish myths combined with personal stories and physical theater, Jacqueline loves to tell myths with an unique personal twist, and Naomi brings forth the stories of her own life journey.
