STOM

STOM is a show with lots of music, some really funny characters, and a pretty smart main character.

There's something wrong with Ziggy. She doesn't talk anymore. Nothing. Not a word. And it's not that she can't. She can talk really well; you should have heard her. But now she doesn't say anything anymore.

Why? She doesn't say. How much longer? She doesn't say anything either.

Meanwhile, she goes to school, parties, music lessons, but completely in silence. How do you have a conversation with someone who doesn't say anything back? Is it brave, or is she trying to attract attention? Does she have a rare disease? Has she been through something terrible? Or should she just act normal? Her best friend, her parents, the psychologist she's supposed to see. Well, pretty much everyone has something to say about it.

Except for Ziggy. She stays silent. Even when her parents become desperate, even when her friends no longer want to hang out with her. What if Ziggy never speaks at all?

ABOUT CASPER VANDEPUTTE

Director Casper Vandeputte creates STOM, a performance about being unable to express your inner world. About not knowing what's going on inside you. With actors Hannah van Lunteren, Isabelle Houdtzagers, and Kaspar Schellingerhout, who also provides the (live) music. Vandeputte previously created the award-winning youth performance Bloedlink (14+) and the theatre hit De Gebroeders Leeuwenhart (8+).

The entire STOM album, created by Kaspar Schellingerhout, is available on Spotify.
