How many conversations are there in one head? When will the stream of words and ideas stop? When will all the voices converge? When will silence fall? UNISONO is a monologue by Abke Haring about looking for a conversation. About the yearning for a word that sets you free and connects you.

“UNISONO is a little ritual, a prayer almost. It’s a choreography of thoughts and ideas in an intimate, silent space. You see and hear the thoughts of someone who is unsure how to deal with life. In this society there is very little time for silence, uncertainty and searching. Yet all around me I see people looking for an answer as to why things are as they are. This play is about that search for a holdfast. We all want to arrive in a place where we find space, repose and peace." - Abke Haring

Abke Haring makes extremely striking theatre productions and also has a number of impressive roles under her belt, most recently in De welwillenden and Hamlet vs Hamlet. Her intense stage presence makes her an extraordinary figure in the theatre landscape.

In February/March 2017, UNISONO will be presented at JACK in New York (US). In preparation for that, English-language performances will be given in Antwerp in February.

“Abke Haring is one of those actresses who immediately grabs your attention, seemingly without having to do much. You could put a street map of an average-sized town in her hand for her to read out and you would still look on in fascination. It has to do with her intangible, mysterious personality, with her intensity, piercing look and flawless delivery. The Theo d’Or for her performance in Hamlet vs Hamlet certainly didn’t come out of the blue…. With UNISONO Abke Haring adds a fascinating solo production to her curriculum.” - Johan Depaepe in Theaterkrant.nl, 25 November 2015

“Not much happens. But what does happen is fascinating – not least thanks to Haring’s all-palpable presence, her intensity and her crystal-clear voice…. Haring’s invisible but, consequently, all the more audible opposite number is a brilliant sound design by Jimi Zoet, which begins meditatively with the distant sound of birds and gradually builds to a hard ritualistic house drone as the electronic sounds become increasingly prominent. This is the moment that words fail with Haring. A moment of spell-binding beauty. And the rest? The rest is silence.” - Vincent Kouters in De Volkskrant, 4 December 2015
