Public sharing Bau AIR with Annica Muller & Kees Roorda

Annica and Kees will share the outcome of their residency at Bau (Dutch only)

Research Crave is a preliminary exploration for a new performance by Annica Muller and Kees Roorda, born from their shared search into themes such as addiction, vulnerability, altruism, and spirituality.The final performance will takes place in raw, intimate locations — in shabby meeting rooms, dusty community centers, and faded dance halls. The audience sits among the actors, in a circle, dissolving the distance between performer and spectator.Based on interviews with addicts and people with lived experience, Crave aims to give voice to the human being behind the addiction: to their pain, their struggle, and their resilience. By sharing these stories, the performance invites a deeper understanding and a more compassionate view of a world that may seem unfamiliar to many, yet is perhaps closer than we think. “Never alone, never again.”<h2> Public Sharing</h2>During this public sharing moment, Annica and Kees will present a script reading (in Dutch) of the first raw results of this research, in a theatrical setting where visitors become an active part of the experience.Afterwards, there will be a collective feedback session, in which the audience is invited to reflect and contribute their thoughts, guided by the DasArts feedback model. In the work of theatre maker Annica Muller (Netherlands, 1991), the search for meaning takes center stage. She draws on her personal involvement and weaves often unheard stories of others with her own perspectives. This results in new, shared narratives that transcend the boundaries between fiction and documentary theatre, as well as between maker and audience.Her work is both challenging and disarming: with humor and perspective, Muller breaks taboos and opens conversations on complex and charged topics. Spirituality and banality go hand in hand in her performances, highlighting the beauty, complexity, and ugliness of life. Her works are more than theatre; by expressing herself in a highly personal way, Muller invites everyone to awareness, enchantment, change, and connection, directly addressing her audience.Muller draws inspiration from everything around her, from high art to gleaming kitsch, weaving it into a unique theatrical language. She takes her audience along in her ongoing theatrical research, which combines various disciplines—from performance and mime to text-based theatre and immersive experience. In doing so, she creates a profound experience that both surprises and moves.Among her works are: This is Fucking Chaos (2023, in the 2025 festival edition), Performance; The Rave (2023), Peep Performance (2021), and Yogi Anni (2021), with which she was nominated for the BNG Theatre Prize and won the Amsterdam Fringe Award.She founded the foundation Permanent Impermanence.👉 <a href="https://annicamuller.nl/" title="https://annicamuller.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">annicamuller.nl</a>Kees Roorda (Netherlands, 1967) is an intuitive theatre maker and writer who radically fuses form and content. His work is socially engaged, genre-defying, with a sharp ear for language and a deep empathy for a wide range of characters. His first production with theatre group Hollandia, Tomorrowland, rooted in encounters with young Moroccan coffee shop visitors, drew attention and led to an invitation to DasArts (now DasTheater), a master’s program in theatre.He later founded the interdisciplinary theatre collective The Glasshouse, where he collaborated with Catherine Henegan at the intersection of text, image, and movement. Their performances toured Dutch and international theatres with great success. In the same period, he adapted his play Een Witte Ballade into a film script together with filmmaker Stefano Odoardi. The film was awarded Best Picture at the Tiburon International Film Festival in 2007. That same year, Roorda was nominated for the BNG Prize for Young Theatre Makers for Hamlet &amp; Gertrude.After leaving The Glasshouse, Roorda focused on writing new plays. In 2017, Een jongen als Rishi by Firma MES was selected for the Dutch Theatre Festival and awarded Best Production of the Year. The work also resonated internationally: in 2021, the text was shortlisted for the German Youth Theatre National Prize. In 2022, A Kid Like Rishi was directed by Erwin Maas at the Origin Theatre in New York and chosen by The New York Times critics as a “Critics’ Pick.”Alongside his writing practice, Roorda teaches at the Writing for Performance program at Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). He is co-founder of the Toneelschrijfhuis and supports young theatre talent as coach, dramaturg, and script doctor.👉 <a href="http://www.keesroorda.nl/" title="http://www.keesroorda.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">keesroorda.nl</a>
