I should have actually said no, Maarten Westra Hoekzema

When was the last time you thought: I should have said no? It happened to Maarten often. When he stood on the set of a commercial dressed in an apple suit. When he cooked real Dutch food for his Belgian in-laws at their request, as proof that the Dutch do have taste. When he babysat his niece for a long weekend to get a taste of fatherhood. A small selection of the many awkward moments that this performance is rich in. Yet Maarten often thought later: luckily I said yes. Because how colorless would his life have been if he had always said no? “Every spectator who ends up in a workshop after this show where a well-meaning coach comes up with the fable that you have to let your body speak, will promptly remember Hoekzema’s divine demonstration. With the giggles as a result. You have been warned.” - Knack text, concept, and performance Maarten Westra Hoekzema - coaching Rosa Vandervost - lighting design Sander Salden - technical and artistic advice Tim van der Linden
