| Anyone growing up today has little difficulty imagining the end of the / a world. Our unbridled patterns of consumption fuel extreme global warming and ruthless pandemics, among other things. A virus or climate catastrophe could, in the ‘worst’ case scenario, wipe out the entire human race, but it also shakes ideologies, societies and worldviews. How can theatre deal with such an end times sensation? And shouldn’t the theatre tap into its mystical origins again to do so? Kristof van Baarle talks about this in reference to works by Kris Verdonck and Michiel Vandevelde, two makers with whom he himself collaborates as a dramaturge. |
