Bring Back The Happening - WOW Festival 2025
Bring Back The Happening is neither a play, nor a show. In this performance, theater collective Nineties proposes a space for connection, offering grounding and healing in today’s turbulent transitions. While the sixties happenings disrupted norms, Nineties reclaims the form as a radical, living tribute to togetherness and presence. This performance features a Nineties actor collaborating with a local performer, weaving their meeting into a playful, interactive ritual celebrating collectivity.
Nineties is a cutting-edge Dutch theater collective driven by their relentless experimentation and fearless curiosity and known for their radical fluidity. As creative shapeshifters, they craft innovative narratives that embrace diverse worldviews, reflecting a generation shaped by multiple truths co-existing. Through thought-provoking storytelling, they challenge perceptions and make the present feel less elusive, opening new perspectives that can help shape our future.

“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.
