Somewhere, 7+, Schippers & Van Gucht

A 360° VR film experience about loneliness “Nice that you see me” This installation takes young and old on a journey through the inner world of a child who feels ‘all-alone’, trapped in the enchanting oppression of loneliness. In this experience everyone – from 7 years old – is handed a VR headset and takes place on a chair. You close your eyes to the physical space around you, put on the VR headset and step into a 3D film world. There you make a visual journey that is supported by beautiful music. ERGENS is both a collective and an individual experience: while you visit the installation together with 33 others, you are alone when you put on the VR headset. In this way you are invited to think about the impact of loneliness and the strength we find when we make contact and are seen. concept/direction/scenography Schippers & VanGucht - sound design Joeri Cnapelinckx in collaboration with Simon Lenski and Andrew Van Ostade - director of photography Wannes Cré - VR camera operation and expertise Rick Cosijn - show control Daan Hazendonk - performers on image Charles Pas, Roshanak Morrowatian, Oumaima Kastit, Rowshuan Pikero, Damien de Hoogh, Mustaf Ahmeti, Jan Bijvoet, Octave Gysels, Poline Van Tiggelt, Warre Degoes, Naivid Rueda Baró, Musa Juwara, Leon Louis, Tilda Groffy, Dide Rovers, Surelis Rueda Baró, Torro Cré, Reza Shamizada - assistance and execution props Juup Luijten - movement coach Charles Pas - mix sound and music Joris Caluwaerts/ studio Finster - costume assistance Valentine Kempynck - guidance performers and children Meike Steerneman and Camille Vermeire – set construction Einstein Design - technical producer Jaap van der Woude - creative producer Eva Meijering - business management and sales: Dorine Cremers - PR, communication, social media Naomi Swinkels - with thanks to IngeJan Ligthart Schenk, Babbe Dijkstra, Facilitaire Theaterwerkplaats Breda, Het Zuidelijk Toneel, TIURI
