Enticed by mysterious singing and the sounds of the violin,
people come together in the middle of the stage to create
a round nest. Birds land there, lay eggs and babies hatch.
We watch on as the little ones become fully-fledged and
finally fly the nest. A poetic world of sounds and images,
that emerges completely without words.

Don Juan is handsome, wild and free. He does what he wants,
with whom he wants – he parties night after night, he robs
houses, he breaks hearts. At his side is his sister, Zerlina – torn
between brotherly love, admiration, remorse and her desire to
emerge from her brother’s shadow.
Through her eyes, and supported by grand opera we experience
a murder, switcheroo, seduction and bloody vengeance. Is
there a Wrong and a Right? And who will, in the end, prevail?

2 Employees of a most unusual ministry enter the

they find in there. Sounds’ volume, acoustic colour and
rhythmic deployment are investigated, chairs are shuffled,
rulers produce melodies and the board is made to squeak.
Little by little the classroom transforms into a magical
place in which, come the end, everyone makes music
together.

also music? A journey with John Cage, a pianist and an actor
snatches the audience away to the fascinating world of the
composer, John Cage. Companie Zonzo’s music theater is
equally open and adventurous as John Cage’s approach to
music. This piece was awarded the international YAMA Award

Award in 2013. A co-production with: Big Bang Festival,
Muziektheater Transparant, De Werf Arts Centre, Rataplan
