Playground

Welcome to the Playground! Here, you can do anything, expect anything and enjoy everything. During this programme we present you talented makers from the Hague who get to the opportunity to perform their own work on a professional stage. And that takes you to the edges of various genres, like dance, circus, music or physical theatre. Just how we like it here at Korzo: full of energy, experiment and a dream-big mentality.

Sophia Bardoutsou - A Poppy Blooms
Based on a haiku poem by Katsushika Hokusai with the same name, this music piece- game engages with the themes of creativity and writing as well as nature and life. 

Lukas Karvelis - She Dreamt of Being Washed Away to the Coast
A contemporary take on Baltic mythology. The performance contextualises Lithuanian folklore against the backdrop of the universal human experience.

Myra-Ida van der Veen - Second Breath
What would a choral piece sound like if we could extend our lungs?

Masha and Liza Zhukova - Inner
The connection between a human being and nature.

Carmel Freeman - The Act of Winning
On stage, a pair of shoes enter. Cloaked in papier-maché, branded with a Nike swoosh and rigged with sensors, the shoes are in control.
