JACK

In his directorial debut JACK, circus maker Benjamin, ‘Monki’ Kuitenbrouwer strips three disciplines to the bone, before carefully rebuilding them info one story: circus, music and light.

A musician walks from instrument to instrument. He plugs and unplugs cables to get the sound he needs. The lighting designer manipulates light and décor by adjusting lamps and hoisting cables during the show. And the juggler… well she juggles. In her own creative style, a fluid mix of acrobatics, dace and juggling. Together they create new images in your head and live on stage/

JACK is an energetic, positive performance about the coming together of three artists and the power of storytelling. With purple neons, bright white juggling clubs and growling synthesizers. Because who said that sober had to be boring?

TENT supports and coaches Benjamin in a two-year process to further develop as a circus maker. With JACK he completes this talent development program. This is made possible by the New Makers development program by the Performing Arts Fund NL and the Amsterdam Fund for the Art.

Duration: 60 minutes.
