Voorkamerfest in Darling
Visitors do not know beforehand who they will get to see. They purchase a route ticket and via local taxis are taken to three shows in three completely different 'front rooms' in local homes, carefully balanced and chosen by the producers. This encourages people to experiment. Not all the artists are announced and a few mystery guests turn up pleasant surprises. Unlike the usual solitary interval experience of the formal theatre, here audience members and complete strangers find it easy to chat among themselves between shows in the minicab taxis, sharing their perceptions and enjoying a cultural debate.
The artists work hard – performing their thirty-minute pieces twelve times over the three days to audiences not always familiar with the nature of their craft. It’s the honesty and freshness of the response they get, together with the intimacy - the average audience size is 20 (sometimes leading patrons to interject and converse with the performer during the show!) – which seems to invigorate the performers and in some cases has turned out to be a life-changing experience.
Naturally, the choice of work is restricted to what can be performed in a makeshift theatre. Stripped of complicated sets, sound and light effects – pure dramatic styles are encouraged. It’s not possible to stage a classical ballet or a full opera, but the Voorkamer Festival is doing something quite different. It’s high in concept and versatile.
The Voorkamerfest was initially conceptualised by Pieter-Dirk Uys and the Dutch impresario Inge Bos, together with Wim Visser from the Carré Theatre in Amsterdam.
