Tickets

Water sprays, power cuts out, the gutter clogs, and the pipes burst. Oh, what chaos! Let’s hope everything works out and nothing explodes!

Do you have two right hands, or maybe not? Either way, we need you— all hands on deck! We’re connecting pipes, taping, sawing, drilling, and laying down the plumbing. And the pipes sound amazing too! Along with the other worksite noises, they create awesome music to dance to. It’s a joy to watch everything come together in TINKER TALES!

This spectacle is one you don’t want to miss! A dance performance where you take part, and you won’t want to stop fixing things. The handyman in you is born!

And, of course, the broken washing machine gets fixed and in the end we can create a big chain reaction together with the audience. Come experience it!

About plan d-

Choreographer, dancer and decor designer Andreas Denk makes professional dance theatre for children and adults. Stories about people and special places inspire him to make performances which are immediately recognisable because he reveals to us the absurdity of the situations in which contemporary human beings get involved in. Objects and the situation in which he sets his players are of crucial importance.

Plan d- offers a space, literally and figuratively, in which everyone is free to tell his own personal story. In this way Denk introduces the audience to existential spaces and lets the audience explore the places in our world which they would not normally encounter. Denk hopes as a result that we will look at the world around us in a different way. And that he can help us put the difficult aspects of contemporary life into perspective. Andreas Denk approaches the tragic in his characters always with (absurd) humour. This is how the audience is entertained and gets emotionally involved.

Hoe wij drempels wegnemen

Bij Het Nationale Theater geloven we dat iedereen naar theater moet kunnen. De Week van de Toegankelijkheid is een mooi moment om stil te staan bij het belang van toegankelijkheid en bij de mogelijkheden die ontstaan wanneer drempels verdwijnen. Met HNTonbeperkt zetten we ons daarom in voor een theaterervaring waarin zoveel mogelijk mensen zich welkom voelen en kunnen meedoen.

No Limits Festival

A festival filled with stimulating theatre, pushing limits to bring together artists and audiences with and without disabilities to broaden perspectives.
