Monologues for Nothing 

Monologues for Nothing is a project for young people (14 - 21 years old), who feel the walls are coming towards them as a result of the lockdown. With VR glasses, the participants enter a virtual world. In a magical flight, they soar above locations in their own city and then end up in the clouds. Messages from other participants are stored here and they can also leave a 'cloud message' themselves. With this, the project offers an escape from loneliness and boredom in the corona time.

De Opera van de Vallende Mens (The Opera of the Falling)

‘De Opera van de Vallende Mens’ is a musical and visual research on the loneliness of sorrow. It’s a VirtualReality-Opera, inspired by interviews with people with a psychological vulnerability. With psychiatry as a mirror to the world we live in, the experience calls for reflection and universal recognition.

Sneeuwen 9+ (Snowing)
 

'Sneeuwen' is a mysterious and magical play about a girl who has run away from home in search of something. Of what? She doesn't know.

 

She ends up in a vast snowy landscape and gets lost. There she reflects on her existence and meets an equally lonely fox. With a serious and universal basis, but naive poetry, director Celine Daemen, actress Marit Hooijschuur and composer Marc Mâhfoud tell the story of a restless young girl who learns to embrace silence. 

'Sneeuwen' was part of Winterzone, a co-production of the Laagland and VIAZUID.

Endgame

In the context of the 'practice house' of the Toneelacademie Maastricht, Celine directs Eindspel  by absurdist Samuel Beckett under the guidance of Liesbeth Coltof.

The blind Hamm, his servant Clov, his father Nagg and his mother Nell sit in a hole where nothing is green anymore. They talk and look outside. Not much seems to be happening outside. It's a day like any other, but within is longing and hope.
