The best of Laaktheater from the comfort of your home!
Laaktheater brings the people of ‘Stage Your Voice’ 2020 into the comfort of your home. Under the guidance of the Residentie Orkest, these talented artists wrote a song about a subject that is very dear to them.
An elderly man lives moments of joy, longing and anxiety waiting to meet a certain woman for a date. He lives moments of joy, longing to his heart. He cleans all over the home with his vacuum cleaner, he organizes the table and the bed according to his fine taste, then he goes to the flower shop to collect her a beautiful bouquet of flowers before going to the train station awaiting her arrival.

Laaktheater Thuis is the digital platform of Laaktheater. Laaktheater is the theatre of district Laak. We want to bring art and culture closer to the people. Just around the corner, in our theatre you can see and experience art and get involved in many different ways. With Laaktheater Thuis we come to you in your living room. You can watch performances, documentaries and take part in art classes on your mobile phone, computer or iPad.
This is one of the ways we want to make art personal. As Laaktheater we want to make the programme with people who are eager to share their love for culture; their love of film, photography, (youth) theatre or music.
Our programme is created by people with ideas who just drop in and we also meet people with ideas in the neighbourhood. And all these people with all these ideas together result in a wonderful programme that we are incredibly proud of.
Would you like to contribute to our (digital) programme? Then send us an e-mail at: sigrid@laaktheater.nl or info@laaktheater.nl. Then together we can explore what and how we can do something for Laak.
