BEGIN AGAIN BrotherTill / Lisa Weeda
In a time when the usefulness of humanity is being questioned, a mother advocates for a world without ego. Her son stubbornly clings to a world with ego.
In the sensory, musical performance BEGIN AGAIN, award-winning interdisciplinary art collective BrotherTill and writer Lisa Weeda once again push the boundaries of theatre. BEGIN AGAIN revolves around one existential conviction: we must let go of something essential in order to move forward. Can we leave behind deep-rooted hierarchies and place the ecological perspective above the human one?
The mother, an activist and inventor, found an omniscient stone deep in the earth. According to her, this stone is the last guide humanity needs to reunite with nature. Her son is a sculptor. He grew up among these omniscient stones, with a mother who was rarely there. While she envisions a new world, he stubbornly clings to his view of humanity.
Upon entry, everyone is given a stone. What follows is a whirlwind farewell: a mix of hyper-technology, immersive music, and an intensely human experience. The audience finds themselves in the middle of the story. The room hums. The stones sing: free us, the end of man must begin.
BEGIN AGAIN is the second part of the human-technology trilogy by BrotherTill and Lisa Weeda: a long-term investigation into the relationship between humans and technology. The first part, DANS DANS REVOLUTIE, earned them the Designers' Award at the Nederlands Theater Festival and a nomination for a Gouden Kalf.
