TERECHT

​In a church there is an absurd court. Here judges, suspects, victims and experts struggle to retain their humanity. Rituals and rules must create order out of chaos. Meanwhile, the public sees the distinction between those involved becoming increasingly blurred.

Theater maker Maarten Smit of Wabi Sabi Theater interviewed various people (from perpetrators to prison directors) about our criminal justice system. He asked them about the impact of trial, punishment, detention and return to society. TERECHT is a dazzling presentation of his findings.
