Synopsis

Can I take the words that hurt so much from you and carry them?

In the interactive theatrical performance and installation ‘Invisible city’ you view the city from a single room. A city that seems far away. Looking at the end of the horizon, behind the walls, the doors and through the trees. Taken to the past, to straighten that which is crooked and turn it upside down. And to see what is invisible to the outside world.
Words and sentences that are said casually, indifferently or directly, but which people take with them on their further journey after the contact has ended. They have stuck and we all carry them with us. What words and phrases are those?

Invisible city wants to work with people on a growing collection of painful words and sentences that have been said. Phrases that people say to each other in a romantic relationship, between colleagues, family and friends or just casually on the street.

You can leave those hurtfull words with Theatermaker Dagmar Slagmolen and social designer Madelinde Hageman, and continue your journey through the city relieved.

International premiere Freedom Arts Festival Hull, England 2023,
