BULK

A hypnotic harbour show.

Every day an invisible flood of goods flows into our country. From gas to rubber ducks, from soy to vacuum cleaners – world trade never stops.

Everything travels, everything moves, everything crosses political and geographical borders. But where does all this stuff come from? How do they find their way to ports like Rotterdam?

Together with musicians Moritz Bossmann and Quartus Vlak we create an energetic and hypnotic concert in the harbour about never-ending flows.

We make a list and seek order in the chaos. We categorise, inventory, classify to get a grip on the multitude. We sing and dance until we drop, get up again and fall again. Because the flow never stops.
It is never enough.


After the premiere at the O. Festival, on a unique location in the port of Rotterdam - with a view on the water, containers and passing cargo ships, we will perform the entire month of June.
