Infectious clandestine acts in public spaces
When was the last time you did something naughty? Widely acclaimed theatre maker Yan Duyvendak will be visiting Noorderzon this year for the world première of invisible. He invites everyone to participate in this radically rebellious, yet extremely elegant show. Snap up your ticket quick, because this will be a festival day that will amuse you like no other. In invisible, audience members are both the cause of and witness to subtle, exciting disturbances in public spaces. The socially acceptable norm is upended in a way, the cause of which is only known to you, as invisible accomplice. Together with a small group and armed with a brief scenario and witness statements of earlier participants, you will fulfil a number of clandestine assignments in nearby public spaces. Don’t think twice and be sure to join in this amusing and infectious game which will unleash more than you would ever have expected.
