Lotte van den Berg - Stillen
Award-winning director Lotte van den Berg has been making waves in Holland as one of a new generation of artists described as the ‘young Dutch minimalists’.
Stillen is a wordless meditation on the silent games people play – sometimes tender, sometimes cruel. Focusing on the relationships between six performers, Stillen explores the power of movement with a profound intensity that is both joyfully uplifting and achingly forlorn. It is a production about the consolation of touch and the pain of being alone.
- "How many words do you need to embrace someone or to reject them completely? None, as Lotte van den Berg shows with six very different actors in Stillen. And the impact is all the greater"
- DE MORGEN
Resisting categorisation, van den Berg’s work can nevertheless be characterised by a pared-down style and devoted attention to detail. Preferring to do without texts, her work sits between the worlds of mime, dance and theatre – creating a bold, fresh performance style which comes to the UK for the first time.
