O. Lab: Lokroep
Artistic investigation into the nuances, tensions, and politics of the #MeToo movement.
Stichting Nanoek
Lokroep focuses on the complexity of interpersonal relationships and the breeding ground offered by (power) structures. Sometimes in a way that allows interpersonal relationships to flourish. Alternatively – as the #MeToo movement has shown – they can degenerate, leading to an abuse of power and unacceptable sexual conduct.
The performance will comprise five different #MeToo situations, written by three young authors. All the scenes differ in terms of the balance of power and degree of affection. They unfold in dissimilar ways, take unexpected courses, and there will be different outcomes.
The concert reading is part of a development process that will result in a fully-fledged music theatre performance.
“O. is very happy to offer Anouk Beugels and her group of promising musical innovators a launch pad as well as a curious audience.” – Tobias Kokkelmans (dramaturgy O.)
About O. Lab
Tomorrow’s makers will work in WORM for seven days and the doors of the workshop will be wide open. Go inside and give free rein to your imagination. After all, nothing is ready-made; everything is a work in progress. O. Lab is a large creative space where makers can focus on current topics and new work is created. Or not, as the case may be, which is equally possible and acceptable in a lab. As long as O. Lab is operational, you will be the first to share the ideas and findings of the makers. Take a seat on the front row and watch the unfolding of the creation process!
