In March 2009 de Appel has left its premises in de Nieuwe Spiegelstraat 10 and is since that time exploring new horizons. While awaiting completion of the new home base, de Appel celebrates its temporary disembodiment with a special programme under the title “The Future Will Last Longer Than The Past”. The regular parallel schedule of performances, lectures, ‘informances’ and publications, known as ‘de Appel on the side’, is now the main programme. The emphasis temporarily shifts from objects and images, to texts, the spoken word and gesture. There is a radical scene change with the background becoming foreground, the white cube turns into a black box as the theatre – both Theatre Frascati and Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam – are the two main venues in which de Appel operates in 2009. Our programme in Fall 2009: At various locations. Please visit http://www.deappel.nl for more information and updates or subscribe to our newsletter here. 13 September, 8.30 pm.
