"Abundance. Correspondence. Multiplicity. Not wanting to reduce the profusion that is reality, with all of its contradictions, tensions and conflicts. I would like to also use such words as ‘multiple’ and even ‘encyclopaedic’ to describe what Toneelhuis does. "

"How can we as theatre makers create images that escape the terror of the culture of spectacle? How can we create an image that is not simply instantly consumed, only to disappear in the abyss of banality and meaninglessness? "

"Making theatre is searching for the right word, the right expression, the right movement, the right image, the right silence…. And doing it again and again, for every performance is unique."

"Theatre is a slow medium. It does not lend itself well to fast action. "

"In essence, theatre is illusory. And thus light. A world of mere appearances that disappears a moment later."
