Dramaturge

"Spring will come on its own. You don't have to do anything."
Somewhere in a land in the far, cold north live two children who are together every day. They are inseparable. Gerda and Kay ice skate together, throw snowballs, and romp among the rose bushes. Their village is paradise on earth. Until one day the Snow Queen appears and kidnaps Kay to her ice palace. Soon no one believes Kay can be rescued anymore, but little Gerda doesn't give up. She puts on her red boots and sets out to find her best friend. Her journey takes her to an enchanted flower garden, a glittering golden palace, and the dark robber forest. But Kay is nowhere to be found. With the help of blue birds, reindeer, and wise women, Gerda finally reaches the ice palace and looks into the eyes of the Snow Queen!
"The Snow Queen" is a story about growing up, which is a difficult and sometimes lonely adventure. It requires perseverance, courage, and a loving heart.

“As soon as I turn 18, I’m going to get tattoos.”
What happens when the pressure becomes too great? Stagnation or explosion? What would you do if you could escape all expectations for a moment? Do you drive to the nearest beach, scream loudly into the woods, or just lie on your bed and play a game?

Pressure (p) equals force (F) per area (A). Pressure somehow holds everything together. Pressure is always there, surrounding us like an invisible shell. It constantly spurs us on to bring out the best in ourselves. But just as invisibly, this pressure can also crush us. Whether at school, in a sports club, among friends, or in the family. Being a good friend, not letting the team down, getting good grades, not talking back, feeling okay about yourself. What else?
"DRuCK" shifts the stage to the school. The play was developed together with young people and is set in the place where everything comes together for young people: the classroom.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"
Everything is ready for a magnificent play with two clowns and a musician: the stage is set, the costumes are finished, the make-up is perfect! A technician quickly checks that everything is set up. But where is the audience? It should be sold out. But today everything is a little different. Who's playing the piano? Who owns the coffee cup floating through the air? And which ghost is sneaking off with the extension cord? Are the actors here now, or are we just supposed to believe them? Are we really here? "The Invisible Man" is all about what you can't see. And secretly, it's also about how wonderful it can be not to be seen. This production is fun for four-year-olds as well as for adult audiences. All you need is the desire to be seduced by the magic tricks of the Jetse Batelaan. After all, if the actors claim the audience isn't there, there's nothing they can do about it, right? A little Las Vegas in Hanover never hurt anyone.
