This performance is a subtle indictment of the surveillance society, which constantly seeks to keep everyone in line. Aided by Eva Arends’ magnificent elephant mask, Barend van Daal movingly portrays the slow despair of the animal.NRC - Marijn Lems

On holding your own in a fast-paced world Winner of the Silver Cricket (National Award) for most impressive stage performance 2024-2025!
This performance takes place in a fast-paced, automated world where things lead a life of their own. And suddenly, there stands an elephant at the bus stop. He looks a bit confused. But who is really strange? The elephant, or the fast-paced world around him?
Theatrical performance with minimal dialogue, video, and lots of music. The inventive set, music, and lighting and sound act as antagonists for the elephant, who is brought to life by Barend van Daal wearing a beautiful mask (Eva Arends).
Mask acting theatre workshop In the workshop, you will discover how to create theatre using a mask, your movement style, and a healthy dose of imagination.

One-off performance with audio guide The performance will also be staged on October 29 during the De Betovering festival in The Hague at Theater aan het Spui, for the blind and visually impaired. With live audio description and a special introduction by a blind interpreter from Komt het Zien!
