Ann Van den Broek is exploring the possibilities of text and movement. She is doing this together with theatre director Marcus Azzini from Toneelgroep Oostpool, 4 actors and 5 dancers. The common ground between the two theatre makers is the physical theatre idiom of Azzini and Van den Broek’s theatrical movement idiom. The feel and content of their work is usually dramatically charged.

LIstEn & See (LIES) is about the search for balance, the perfect symbiosis; not only between language and movement, but also between body and soul. What people say and their physical expression of it (the body language) will be taken apart and re-assembled to create a new truth. Is this a lie? Look and listen.
