Last January, Marres, VIA ZUID, de Brakke Grond, Dansateliers and FASHIONCLASH presented the performance festival Rooms.
This summer, Merette van Hijfte & Pleuni Veen will give a reprise of their performance PAL in the ice house at Marres.
They will present the visual poem PAL, which gives shape to the moment when we exchange freedom for safety. In doing so, they respond to the various meanings of the adverb, which refers to the original, Dutch expression “pal staan”, and its figurative meaning “to be immobile” or “to stand firm.”
