Kunstminnende heeren

Toneelhuis, Olympique Dramatique

Kunstminnende heeren (Art-loving gentlemen) is Olympique Dramatique's first shot at its own theatre script.

The title is borrowed from Schiller's play Wallenstein but that is where the similarities end, except that the words "art-loving gentlemen" fired their imagination enough for them to write a play set in the art world. The setting is a cultural talk show in which presenters Rudi Latoer and Joe Fok welcome artists to the studio, each with their own barmy desires, visions and definitions of what art is or should be. In each case we see a number of artists working live on a painting, performance, installation, etc.

Olympique Dramatique has already had a wonderful opportunity to explore the borders of absurdism in Ionesco's De Kale Zangeres (The Bald Soprano); now they go a step further down this road, this time wielding the pen themselves. Inspired by the drawings of Roland Topor, the play The Insect Trainer by Timothy Carey and Extras by Ricky Gervais, and with "plays written under the influence are influential plays" as their battle cry, Olympique Dramatique invites us into the bizarre artsy-fartsy world of the Kunstminnende heeren.
