VIELFALT(2009)
By JAKOP ALBHOM
After more than 10 years, the internationally successful performance Vielfalt by the Jakop Ahlbom Company returns to theatres in the Netherlands. The audience will be enthralled by its danceable duets, magical tricks and pure slapstick, as if watching a surrealist film. Defying the boundaries of fantasy, Vielfalt (Diversity) feeds our imagination.
A disappearing act as the start of a surrealist search
When a magician lets a woman disappear during an act, she does not return. Her husband does his utmost to bring her back and even steps into the magician’s fantasy world. He ends up in a surrealist maze where illusion and reality intertwine. Every time he seems to have found her, she slips away again. The man disappears further and further into the magician’s mind.
Internationally successful
In 2007, Vielfalt was selected by the Netherlands Theater Festival and this marked the popular breakthrough of the Jakop Ahlbom Company. After more than ten years, this internationally successful performance that drew large crowds, is now back on stages in the Netherlands.
