An armed yoga group holds up a mirror to their radicalized supporters: can we achieve our ideals without the use of weapons? The theater audience is held hostage for hours by imagination and overwhelmed by violent text theater, but leaves the theater spiritually liberated and physically purified. To cope again with 21st-century life. Gandhi plays only a supporting role; the performance is draped as loosely around his biography as the cloths around his loins.
After successful play series in Germany, a Dutch version now follows with a new Dutch cast.
After their German-language debut Der Bus nach Dachau was selected for the prestigious Berliner Theatertreffen, Schauspielhaus Bochum once again invited De Warme Winkel to light a fuse in the German powder keg.
The media about Gundhi
"Once again, the company operates in the best possible way still most like a set of icily intelligent, mischievous pretenders. Be on your guard. The attack, cloaked in irony, is one on your passivity." (Parool)
"Gundhi gets to the bottom in every scene" (Theaterkrant)
"Best of all, Gundhi is a sincere exploration of the difficulties you face when you want to win the peace. You have guts when you take that on as creators, knowing that you're not going to find a solution, but that it's so important to search anyway." (Wed.)
"Wonderful physical theater."
