Het Zuidelijk Toneel & Theater Artemis
Helloooo? Is anyone there? Any stories?
One day, the audience is waiting for a performance to begin. The curtain opens and the stage appears to have been to the hairdresser, completely bald! Huh? A few people are scurrying around in a corner. Who are they? No idea, but they're after your handbag and they smell like moss!
Het Verhaal van het Verhaal is about... well, what is it actually about? Anyone who can explain this is a hero! This is Weird with a capital W. And Strange with a capital S. But also Exciting with a capital E.
A truly remarkable nature film featuring squares, circles, and Cristiano Ronaldo. And the audience? They can only yearn and crave for the common thread. But where is it? And where is it going? Trumpets! Music is playing! Will the story finally unfold?
Het Verhaal van het Verhaal is an unadulterated ‘Batelaan’, a magical world in which everything can suddenly sparkle with desires and expectations. An 8+ family show for everyone who hasn't been selected for the school soccer team, or perhaps especially for them!
Jetse Batelaan (Leiden, 1978) is a director and, since 2013, artistic director of Theater Artemis. He has an eye for people who struggle, and with that eye he creates visual, imaginative, and clear theater that surprises and moves. His approach is radical. In recent years, he has won several nominations and awards, including for the co-productions Het verhaal van het verhaal (The Story of the Story) and Een leuk avondje uit (A Fun Night Out).
