Braakland tells the story of 9 people wandering through a forgotten place. Inspired by the novels of John Coetzee, this production uses penetrating imagery to bring the violence and desolation of his books to life.

Director Lotte van den Berg stages the action hundreds of feet from the audience, creating an expansive physical distance, and delivering a surprisingly deep and personal impact.

Language: none

Co-presented with Performance Space 122.




Please note: The show is not appropriate for people under the age of 16. It contains violence and brief nudity.
