Bring Back The Happening

Bring Back The Happening is neither a play, nor a show, but a real… happening! A happening is something you cannot do on your own, any more than you can be a soccer team, a choir or a dance floor by yourself. Surrender to a lively ritual underscored by a lush soundtrack (and maybe a few dinosaurs). 

In this performance, Dutch contemporary theater collective Nineties convenes a “happening” – neither a play nor a show – as an interactive, high-spirited way to connect with others, find healing and leave behind all worldly dislocation – if only for a moment. Surrender to a lively ritual underscored by a lush soundtrack (and maybe a few dinosaurs).

“Between instructions, they tell seemingly careless anecdotes that you don’t notice until later how much meaning they give to the end result… All elements coincide beautifully in the concluding build-up choreography, and the end result is spectacular and surprising.” – Dutch weekly newspaper, De Groene Amterdammer

Artist

Nineties makes theater in an effort to make the present time a little less elusive. To give space to new perspectives on our ever-changing world and the challenges that come with it. They make contemporary theater, using and fusing visual art, digital media, literature, music and performance. The work is neither formless, nor fixed in form, for each production exploring new ways of storytelling. Breaking with conventions and tradition to tell the present stories that are in need of new performative forms.
