Code 1989

  • previous production
  • next production

No confrontation between different worlds, but a search for what is universal: simple human data as 'encounter', the ' growth to adulthood', the search for own 'individuality' are starting points.

No wonder you end up with the big emotions: 'birth', 'love', 'death'.

An intriguing interaction between 'real' and 'played', between 'image' and 'reality', between worlds that each have an own language, an own CODE, is created by the disarming and sometimes disconcerting honesty of the STAP-actors and -actresses.

Kultuur en Wetenschap March 1989 1989

A very intricate play is played with very simple gestures. The actors show an enormous power and personality. Not in order to give shape to very defined characters, but to weave together layers of atmosphere.

Knack March 1989 1989

The pattern of the performance is formed by the rites of each individual's life: birth, love and death. Of all the material gathered in the rehearsals only those moments were kept which meant most to the actors. Absolutely not to be missed.

Streekkrant March 1989 1989

Improvising with the actors led to a performance with an intriguing interaction between 'real' and 'acted', between 'image' and 'reality', each of these worlds with their own language or code. Code is fascinating, funny, disturbing and unique theatre.

De Morgen February 1989 1989

Code is a very sensitive performance, beautiful to watch, beautiful to listen to. The emotions are completely honest, and often disarming and funny. A beauty!
