Simon Baetens - Injuries & Remedies
Theatre show injuries & remedies is performed at Zaal 3 in The Hague. Actors and theatre makers Simon Baetens and Micha Goldberg share the stage in this English-language production, with Dutch surtitles.
Two figures question each other relentlessly about pain, doubt and everything that happens between people when they genuinely want to know who the other really is. What that amounts to is hard to pin down: an artistic post-show talk, an interview or a therapy session? injuries & remedies deliberately keeps that question open.
Simon Baetens and Micha Goldberg in Zaal 3 The Hague
Simon Baetens and Micha Goldberg both perform in and create this show themselves. On stage, they constantly shift roles: confronting, mirroring, advising and comforting each other. The result is a conversation that keeps changing shape, driven by the stubborn belief that a person's inner world reveals something essential about who they truly are.
Biography, fiction and dark humour
The show moves between the personal and the invented. Real confessions blend seamlessly into elusive dreamlike images, and biting humour sits side by side with genuine vulnerability. Through carefully constructed self-criticism, Baetens and Goldberg build a world that feels both familiar and strangely out of reach. Performed in English with Dutch surtitles.
