Ezra Veldhuis & Bosse Provoost - Campfire

Can we imagine how bodies that are different from our own pick up the world? In campfire, Bosse Provoost & Ezra Veldhuis take us on stage, where we are immersed in a bath of sound and light. We listen to a conversation that takes place under a strange constellation, and traverse different environments – or is it always the same space, but experienced differently each time? Between the field of vision of a shrimp, the wandering arms of an octopus, and the inside of a womb, a field of perspectives opens up. Ancient animal paintings, firing synapses, and out-of-body experiences pass by as attempts to think beyond human consciousness. Can we imagine how bodies that are different from our own pick up the world? “Lying on my back, the perception is different and concentration is something else, something that happens with more surrender, but also sits close to sleeping. With all senses in a horizontal line, the experience of the space is different, and therefore also that of the work. Everything is at once just a little more work and just easier.” - Theaterkrant
