Dries Verhoeven studied theatre design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht. After that, he worked as a scenographer with various directors, and since 2002, he has worked as an independent theatre maker. His projects cross the space between the visual arts and theatre, and have been shown at theatre festivals in the Netherlands and Europe. In 2008, he received the Dutch Mime Award for You Are Here and No Man`s Land on account of the “strength of the performances which lies in the sensitivity and set-up of the experience”. He has received a number of grants from the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture.

The Large Movement takes place in a small cinema space. The film you are about to see will never be repeated afterwards. You look at the world as it takes place at that same moment outside. And this reality is subtitled. When the text stops and the people start walking backwards, the individual hurrying across the square seems to transform into a collective choreography. From the cinema, you see things that you didn’t notice when you were still part of the reality.

Dries Verhoeven`s  exciting theatre, which dares approach the field of visual arts as well, is on display in Moszkva Square on 23, 24 and 25 of April. Starting times: 3, 4, 5 and 6 p.m.  `

The Large Movement offers subtitles in Hungarian and English. The English version takes place on 23 April at 6 p.m. and on 25 April at 4 p.m. We kindly ask our guests to gather in the Castle bus (Várbusz) stop 10 minutes before the performance.

Dries Verhoeven at Moszvka Ter:

The Large Movement – a movie that’s being screened when it’s being watched. A movie about the outside (Moszkva tér) that you can see inside (movie saloon in a container). A Chinese theater run by Dutch movie makers featuring Hungarian „thespians” in the luxurious movie shack on Moszkva tér.
