HEAVEN presents three figures who return from Hell, stripped of darkness and desperately searching for lightness and meaning. In their quest for HEAVEN, they build rituals, seek love and grace, and push themselves to the extreme.

They climb ever higher to find the light and force themselves through piercing breathing exercises to get closer to their inner selves. Each time they believe they have found something pure, the question remains: when will it slip through their fingers again?

The three-part Rebirth series

With all humility, Collectief Het Paradijs takes on the role of a guide in the coming years, offering direction to the wandering soul. According to the collective, 21st-century humans are completely lost when it comes to good and evil, how to live life, and how to respond to their instincts. The tripping Rebirth triptych leads you through Rebirth Part I: HELL (2025), then Rebirth Part II: HEAVEN (2026), before returning with newfound direction in Rebirth Part III: EARTH (2027).

The performances can be viewed on their own, but for the recurring visitor each performance connects: starting where the previous one ended.

About Collectief Het Paradijs

Collectief Het Paradijs creates cinematic raw and absurd theater. Their performances focus on humanity using a raw, absurdist movement language that highlights the banality of our daily lives. By combining the best elements of cinematic and punk theater, they clash absolutes to create layered, confusing, energetic, and simultaneously nuanced work.
