What has to happen before you feel like nothing less than a clown? And what happens when you're completely done with that? In collaboration with Club Guy & Roni, HIIIT (formerly Slagwerk Den Haag), and Asko|Schönberg, NITE presents The Underground: a tragicomic and music theater show about the art of failure.
The Underground is inspired by Notes from the Underground by Fjodor Dostojevski; a monologue by a man who has had to take many blows in his life. "Within this theme, Rik van den Bos wrote a phenomenal, topical text, about someone who cannot accept how the world works, who fails to join the rules of the game and retreats to the margins with all his spiritual wealth." - said Guy Weizman, director.
The Underground is an absurdist, funny, and tragic performance by Guy Weizman and was previously selected by the professional jury for the Dutch Theater Festival. With a starring role for Sanne den Hartogh as the cabaret-like band leader who flawlessly strings together social criticism and personal suffering with dark humor. Den Hartogh received a Louis d'Or nomination for this performance.
