Er rent een berg voorbij (A Mountain Runs By) tells the story of Earth’s 4.54 billion-year history. This big, musical story shows how our world is always changing. The stage is filled with rivers, clouds and trees made from cardboard. Forests crawl across the floor, mountains turn into sand, and the moon dances a waltz with the sea. A four-part choir makes all the sounds—from cracking rocks to singing birds.
Plankton, the group of Sonja van Ojen and Hendrik Kegels, makes shows that mix object theatre, visual art, and mime. Where fantasy writers create worlds with elves and trolls, Plankton gives stories to simple things—like power sockets, pebbles, and fire extinguishers. In this show, they bring a giant landscape painting to life. It makes you think in a different kind of time: from the birth of the moon, to the first algae on land, to the end of humankind—and beyond.
