Under the banner of DRIE DAGEN FRIS, literary creators / musicians Mees van Rijswijk, Marieke Ornelis, and Johannes Lievens are kicking off a year of experimentation. Through residencies and performances, they’ll get to know each other, stage literature in all its forms, and other stage artists. The first presentation will take place on June 13 at VersVuur in Antwerp.
A light-hearted, language-driven musical theatre show about finding footing
Literary makers Marieke “earworm” Ornelis, Mees “small hands” van Rijswijk, and Johannes “roadkill deer” Lievens refuse to cut anything from this performance (something they constantly have to do as writers). You’ll get all their brainwaves, sing-alongs, rants, and other textual goo served straight up.
In dark political and ecological times, DRIE DAGEN FRIS explores the things people hold onto — in an effort not to fall over themselves. This search for something to cling to is the jumping-off point for new texts, scenes, songs, and other material. The performances of DRIE DAGEN FRIS offer a playful entry point to rethink important issues like capitalism, gender, and work.
