Moddertong

PROJECT

Moddertong

This kaleidoscopic narrative evokes the everyday life of a community in an unspecified time and place. Everything is magically connected: the sun, plants and animals, people and man-made things. In Moddertong, a narrator sits with the audience in a circle. Gradually, a tragicomedy unfolds in which countless creatures support and thwart each other. Influenced by continuous research and ever-changing circumstances, Sébastien Hendrickx keeps on making new versions of the same performance.
