🏊‍♀️🎭A couple of photos of #Opheliamachine production that just closed in Amsterdam. A very intense, high paced visual imagery with music moving between Christian liturgy to rock. I love that it was updated with contemporary news, compiled by the brilliant production dramaturg. Dir. by Florian Hellwig

🏊‍♀️🎭Busy winter for Opheliamachine. Another production, at the University of Amsterdam, just closed. What a fantastic post-apocalyptic poster. Ophelia is drowning—in data? In rainfall flood sewage? She is not just Cyber-Ophelia. She is Eco-Horror Ophelia. #opheliamachine
