Schouwburg De Lawei is playing a part in the Theater Na De Dam project this year. Under the direction of Lisa Groot Haar, young people from Drachten immersed themselves in the Drachten of the Second World War.
About Alleen in oorlog
The young Drachsters each met an older Drachtster who lived through the war. They talked about seclusion, connection, and commemoration. Each of them made a 1-on-1 performance inspired by these meetings to share with the public from specially made benches in the open air. They perform eight times from May 3-9 between 1pm and 4:30pm.
About Theater Na de Dam
The twelfth edition of Theater Na de Dam involves almost 400 young people in 38 projects throughout the Netherlands to, despite everything, make May the 4th meaningful. Through digital interviews and speed dates between young-and-old about the world, something worthwhile was formed in many ways – not just hearing the silent past talk but also seeing the strange and complex world we now live in.
