My Dinner With You

A performance by Niels Horeman

 

My Dinner With You

Cannibalistic dinner-date. Food for thought with deadly dessert.

Based on a true story of a cannibal who found his volunteering victim through an ad. Disturbingly funny performance that provokes us to rethink our values. Our charming cannibal shows what can happen if we forget to connect with ourselves. We might end up thinking that we are not enough.

All humans need food
Food can be human
Therefore, humans need humans

A plea for more empathy, modesty and being interdependent.

Beautiful monologue. Niels Horeman gave a powerful performance with remarkable flexibility and impact. A broad palette of emotions from shock and angst to humorous intervals that nailed the audience to its chairs. A memorable work worth seeing.

Intriguingly impressive and frightening. Touches you in your soul.

John Daniel

 

Fast, agile, emotional, entertaining, eloquent play. Niels ‘ show illustrates how devastating and potentially lethal our search for recognition and acknowledgement can be; An insight that softens the heart for even the most absurd events. And still, the show is funny and light!

Rajesh Kalyan

 

Beautiful modern dramatic text in iambic pentameter that discusses the meaning and the limits of art and the human need to feel special. Based on a true act of cannibalism, performed in an intimate setting.

Intense show that hits you in the stomach. A solo that questions what we are willing to sacrifice, about not feeling understood while being in a dark solitude. With humor and a tear.

Esmeralda Detmers

 

 

Intimate, intelligent, entertaining and a bit scary theater that provides deep insight into our modern society. Combination of space itself and Niels Horemans performance its simply great and absolutely worth seeing.

Pecka Van Zaandam

 

 

Funny and moving. It inspired you to think about your own limits. How far do we go to feel complete? And once we have done it, did it fulfill the need? This One man show is a must see!

Blood-curdling tempting. Niels Horeman performs with great precision and skill. Intrigued me from start. My emotions keep shifting from absolute horror to being tempted to take a bite out of the actors bare back. The humor and the rich table of ideas are very enjoyable.

Intense performance that enters through your belly. A solo that questions what we are willing to sacrifice, about not feeling understood while being in a dark solitude. Do you come close to someone, so close to a ‘ monster ‘? With humor and a tear.

The Patchwork Odyssey

Live Storytelling:
The Odyssey.
Different every night.

A group of actors and a cellist attempt to reawaken the spirit of The Odyssey using only what they can remember by reading the books. Although, to be honest, they did prepare some songs and poems to back them up. To add to the fun, there are some rules:

− The show is cast in front of The audience.
− Performers must incorporate all kinds of surprising tasks. For example Sing the Book or Tell a Personal Memory.
− The cellist can interrupt any time with a song or noise that the actors must incorporate into The play.

This way the players are forced to recreate the story afresh night after night. Creating unique angles, surprising choices and, sometimes, impossible problems. Like Odysseus, the actors must rescue themselves and bring the story home. Watch The actors sink or swim.

This project is supported by the AFK, VSB, for the art, COCO-MAT.

Live Storytelling:
A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Different every night.

The Dutch Factory combine improvisation and location theatre with The original lines of classical plays in English. The performances happen in the moment, making full use of the room, the audience and the objects they bring. Each time we offer a unique version of A Midsummer night’s Dream. Only Shakespeare’s original lines are fixed – as for the rest, it’s come what may come.

Things won are done, Joy’s soullies in the doing. -Shakespeare

An intimate and enjoyable performance by a dedicated group of players. Who didn’t even know their roles before it started. Worth it just for that. No dropped lines and pauses and all Shakespeare’s verse and prose played with props provided by the audience. It was a delight.

William Sutton

 

Great performance and a great evening!!! Thanks!

Vijay Sakhare

 

I felt like I was part of the story and for the first time I could really understand every word of Shakespeare’s beautiful play. You have to see this!

Abdul Nabeel

 

My jaw literally dropped from the second they began. It was not only the outstanding grace and professionalism in which they treated the classic or the flawless performances, but the enchanting, fresh and captivating dynamic which I dare not describe out of fear of doing it injustice. Just Go!

Geovanny Tejeda

 

Was great fun. The look on the faces of the customers when they walked into the store, literally straight into the middle of a lovescene, priceless.

SHAKSPEARE & IMPROV, how daring and challenging! With the audience disrupting the classical lines by offering objects on stage.
