Hope

Hope is stubborn. It does not grow from empty promises that everything will be fine, but rather in times of crisis—when everything threatens to fall apart.
In HOPE, an ensemble, a director, and the staff of a bar are caught up in a maelstrom of power games, rebellion, and growing panic. While outside the rain swells into a flood, questions collide that point far beyond the stage: Do we need clear leadership or collective solidarity? Which is stronger—the promise of order or the power of resistance?

Produced in collaboration with NITE Groningen, HOPE is both a parable and a diagnosis of the present: a multilingual, interdisciplinary theater evening that combines dance, music, and drama—between Germany and the Netherlands, wine spritzer and apocalypse, between fear and the attempt to overcome it. But hope remains stubborn—fluttering, light, impossible to grasp—and precisely that makes it indestructible. “Hope is the thing with feathers.”
