Though only founded a few years ago, De Veenfabriek has already won wide recognition for innovating the world of music theatre. Under the direction of Paul Koek, they create work at the intersections of the worlds of music, fine art, theatre, and science. Sometimes staging their work in traditional theatres, and other times setting it in more unexpected venues such as airport hangars, hospitals, and department stores, Veenfabriek is constantly reinventing performance.
