‘Kizuna’ is the Japanese word for connection. But also for obstruction and obstacle. That double meaning makes it interesting. Today, we are constantly connected. But are we really that connected to each other?
Meanwhile, a network grows under our feet that we are unaware of. A network of invisible threads that connects all trees, plants, and mushrooms underground. You could call the mycelium, that network of fungal threads, the internet of the flora.
Tim Oelbrandt takes you on a tale about the things in life that connect us. He gives us the feeling of all being connected. Or he calls an unsuspecting stranger and leaves the audience with a riddle: how beautiful and valuable can the connection with a stranger be?
In ‘Kizuna’, Oelbrandt brings a magical tale about connection with wonderful magic tricks. With ‘Heen en terug’, he previously created a performance for an adult audience in an intimate setting. With ‘Kizuna’, he goes a step further in that. He combines magic, illusion, and theater in a magnificent way.
