Alp2008 / Theun Mosk in collab. with FLATarchitectsAutonomous installation at Festival aan de Werf

The installation is a piece of alp meadow which is cut out and moved to the center of Utrecht. From the urban environment, the visitor enters a panoramic landscape. A steep path leads the visitor along a number of houses, in which Mosk has asked several artists to refresh the weary hikers with their work.

“From the landscape to the city! For the curious people a challenge to discover themselves, because that is what this mountain stands for: discover and enjoy!”


Walking 2008 / Robert Wilson in collab. with Theun Mosk & Boukje SchweigmanSite-specific theatre for Terschellings Oerol Festival

‘Walking’ is a slow walk in which the boundaries between time and space will disappear. From the quiet nursery, the Wadden Sea, the visitor hikes inland towards the turbulent North Sea. On the way one will pass architectural installations. By a game with delay and observation not only the landscape reveals itself in all its facets, but the walker is also confronted with his personal experience. A four hour, intense journey.

Licht is de machine2008 / De Veenfabriek Site-specific performance at Vliegveld Valkenburg

‘Licht is de machine’ (Light is the machine) is a cross-over between a huge visual installation and a musical theater production. The presentation shows the beauty of light, but also her dazzling reverse. The audience is taken on a journey through utopian worlds, old and new, bitter personal desires and dreams: sometimes in the form of an intimate concert, sometimes in a visual environment where spectators, engineer, musician and actor share the floor together. The theories of special utopian philosopher Charles Fourier were used as key principles.

Een cowboy met zijn handen hoog juicht waar–schijnlijk niet

In ‘Een cowboy met zijn handen hoog juicht waar- schijnlijk niet’ (A cowboywith his hands up probablydoesn’t cheer), the actors are being challenged immensely. Powerful observations of lifelike behavior, absurd situations based on clumsiness and slowness, captured in a clear visual language and an unparalleled consistency. A show about people in panick. Sadism out of love for things. Understandably poking where it hurts. A show about people who surrender themselves.

Wiek2009 / Schweigman&Site-pecific performance for summerfestivals

In ‘Wiek’ (Rotor) Three female dancers find themselves sharing a circular area with the horizontally rotating blades of a wind turbine. The seated audience surrounds the space, allowing no chance of escape; the dancers have no other choice but to confront their situation. Feeble humans are compelled to enter into combat with forces far greater than their own, and the audience is made complicit in the inevitable outcome.

Orlando

‘Orlando’ is a stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s novel about the approximately thirty-year-old Orlando, who tries to comprehend life in more than 300 years and for that purpose among other things transforms from a young man into a young woman.With Orlando Virginia Woolf tries to do the impossible by writing the life story of the person you’re in love with. On the one hand there are facts and figures, on the other hand there is this rainbow of feelings, moods and experiences - how the life of your loved one feels.

NRC HandelsbladKester Freriks

“In the monumental, sober setting, designed by Theun Mosk, the dynamic Maria Kraakman dances, flies and runs”

De Telegraaf Esther Kleuver

“... even transparent costumes by Klavers van Engelen romantically contrast with the bare, dark “scenery” of Theun Mosk, that radiates an almost impalpable timelessness”
