De verse tijd الوقت الجديد

Selected for the Dutch Theater Festival 2019

De verse tijd is a co-production with Toneelhuis. Two theatre makers, Mokhallad Rasem and Kuno Bakker engage in a series of dialogues about their mutual relation and surroundings. Humorous and painful, poetic and banal. Two lost souls in search of common ground. The conversations evoke an overall story of two men who despite their differences, probe each other’s lives to see where they overlap and enrich each other. Or when perhaps they should let the other be. During a frank talk that originates around these differences, the public is invited to think along and determine their own position. 

Can we only pretend and talk about nothing?
Can we discard all words and start again?
Can’t we: you’re like this and I’m like this?   

Kuno and Mokhallad meet eachother regularly to talk about one of the themes of the performance. Click here for a photo report.
