Natives I plays within the framework of The International Choice of the Rotterdamse Schouwburg (10 Sep - 2 Oct 2010) on location in the Rotterdam district of Pendrecht.
For the sequel Natives II, Wunderbaum interviewed residents of Pendrecht - with whom an intensive contact was established during the creative process - about the changes in their neighbourhood and about Wunderbaum’s presence just before being pulled down. What has changed in the neighbourhood? What is the municipality doing and what is the community doing? What do the citizens think about the crisis? What did they think of the presence of actor group Wunderbaum and their vision of the crisis?
Variations in doom-mongering.
In a flat in Rotterdam-Zuid (South Rotterdam), which is on the verge of being broken down, Wunderbaum depicts the consequences of the crisis, but is the crisis real? Is the world really going down badly, or are we just telling ourselves that it is? How do we behave when we are plagued by disasters beyond our imagination?
Natives I & II is social physical music theatre about a fantasy world in decline, and the pain of feeling displaced. Remco de Jong and Florentijn Boddendijk compose live music based on films about the end of time.
