But… what if you do some preliminary research that has to be done any way, and you manage to turn such a mishap into something attractive? Very attractive, enough so that it becomes a performance in its own right?
That is exactly what four students of Theatre Educator have done, in collaboration with Musical Theatre De Plaats. The result? A modern listening for 8 and above. The theme is fear, and being really brave, because those two are intimately related. If you listen to all five episodes, you discover parallels between many of the things that keep us busy. That is of course the world in which we all try to outsmart the corona virus.
Are you eight or older? Listen to the story of Yous and Minne on Spotify.

About the performance…What goes unseen
One fine morning Minne wakes up. Everything is slightly different to normal: parents whisper in the kitchen, no more television is allowed and the square in the street looks desolate. Yous´s parents, Minne´s neighbour and best friend, all have red marks around their necks.
Yous and Minne investigate. What is going on? Who is the enemy that have turned their lives upside down? And what if the enemy is no longer in sight? Is he maybe invisible? How can you fight something that is invisible?
The performance that will be constructed through podcasts, will be shown around october.
