SCHOONBEEST (6+) / fABULEUS

'SCHOONBEEST' takes place in a densely overgrown world in which a procession of absurd creatures spy on, threaten, seduce, and finish each other off. Along the way, theater makers Brenda Corijn and Zita Windey tackle major themes, such as the fear of the unknown and the role of humans in nature. SCHOONBEEST takes place in a densely overgrown world in which all people, animals, and things pretend they know what they are doing. A hunter peers through his double-barreled shotgun, ready to shoot. The beast looks back, not intending to flee. Who is the prey? With a nod to nature documentaries, theater makers Brenda Corijn and Zita Windey present a procession of absurd creatures that spy on, threaten, seduce, and finish each other off. Along the way, they tackle major themes, such as the fear of the unknown and the role of humans in nature. SCHOONBEEST is a visual performance that makes children and adults look differently at everything that lives and does not (anymore) live. The general public got to know Brenda Corijn as the singer of the band Ão. She previously played at fABULEUS in the children's performance Connie & Zorba (2021) and last season she could be seen in Alleman (Het Kwartier) and (v) (De Nwe Tijd). Zita Windey played in Moenieworrienie (Collectief Verlof) and Fratssen (Ballet Dommage). Her TV debut in the second season of Assisen - de insulinemoord (GoPlay) immediately earned her a leading role.
