STADSPARADIJZEN

STADSPARADIJZEN is the artistic response of a young, diverse group to the challenges of a demanding city.  Idyllic paradise or dangerous urban  jungle?

STADSPARADIJZEN does not want to make a choice but to marvel at encounters in the city between people of various backgrounds.
 


The animal kingdom becomes a metaphor for all kinds of reflections on the Urban Jungle, where people are busy defending, expanding and contesting territories. 

The Fables of Jean De La Fontaine, The Earthly Paradise with the Fall of Adam and Eve by Peter Paul Rubens  and the work of Marie-Jo Lafontaine are the sources of inspiration. 

STADSPARADIJZEN is a dynamic performance with theatre, music, dance, song and video.
