AIR4+
Making something from nothing
What is air?
Two little creatures try to figure it out.
From breathing and whistling to farting.
But who does the air actually belong to?
And can you take hold of it?
And then the air that had been so invisible is suddenly there very tangibly between them. And each goes for it!
AIR is about making something out of nothing and having the world believe that it has a value. It is a wordless and dancing show about everything and nothing. Two sprightly creatures try to trap air, hold it and cherish it. Until they start to get attached to it and themselves become the plaything of the forces of AIR...
In 2017 maker Merel Denie was nominated for the Henriette Hustinx Prize. With AIR she graduated with a Master’s in Theatre from the Institute of Performative Arts in Maastricht.

"Two creatures and the air play with each other, intuitively interacting, making objects of play out of each other. In this wordless, dancerly show by Merel Denie, we are treated to a delightful blend of excitement and humor, a visually enchanting performance."

"A production that shows in a wonderfully imaginative way just what air is capable of. […] Though intended for children aged 4 and over, children aged up to 77 will enjoy it too."
