Letters on the verge

Marthe Koning collaborates with interdisciplinary performance maker Gerben Vaillant for her new creation. They explore the human desire to coincide through an endless succession of failed duets.

Marthe on Gerben: 'I find recognition in the poetry and at the same time vitality of his work in which elaborate details can be recognisable, sad and witty. And invite him because of his cinematic power that complements my analogue style. We bring together different fascinations in a performance concert; the red echo caves of the oracle masses in Malta, the childlike sensuality of Kinke Kooi's drawings and the magical-realist performances of Aldous Harding.'
