SCHADUW (SHADOW)

In the dark it is invisible, and in the light it becomes pitch black. With SHADOW, Marte explores the dark sides and rough edges of being human. What about your shadow? Are you a thief? When was the last time you lied? Do you ever dream of horrible acts? What within you cannot bear the light of day, and what does the darkness bring us? SHADOW is a collective exercise in sharing your darker side.

In SHADOW, from the safety of a twilight cocoon, you will listen to other peoples shadow sides and are invited to anonymously share your own rough edges. Do you dare to speak of your dark side? Embrace your full being in this ode to the shadow and join us on a journey through light and dark.

Het Jaar van Shaduw

The performance SHADOW grew directly out of the artistic research of The Year of Shadow. Throughout this year-long trajectory, we explored our own darkness and the sides of ourselves that cannot bear the light of day alongside 60 participants and guest curators. The intimate conversations, guided experiences, and insights from our studio laid the direct foundation for the final performance.
