“An Unguarded Moment is a truly moving performance: a little jewel that leaves you with a new perspective on the world of things.” Theaterkrant.nl
You look away for a second and everything has changed. What had been, is no longer.
Nothing is what it seems, and nothing stays the same. Witness a changing landscape in an unguarded moment, escaping the safe world of reason. Age-old knotty trees with unfulfilled desires tear themselves away, root and all.
Delaying their extinction, chasing their dreams. Looking for a rush of excitement in their static lives. Finally starring in the spotlights. Assisted by trained found objects, they show their extraordinary talents.
Unexpected developments and surprising metamorphoses in a primeval forest.
Heartwarming scenes featuring aged linden tree trunks breathing their own visual language.
