Visitors to the Ambacht in Beeld Festival will be the first to hear and see scenes from the Eef van Breen Group‘s latest performance, ‘VUURPROEF’.

In the enchanting sound theatre VUURPROEF, composer, director and heaven-stormer Eef van Breen opens up a new world for ear, eye and heart. A live glassblower, ceramicist, woodworker, blacksmith, four musicians and an actress create a rich world of music, language, sound, and objects to get lost in.

In a crazy world, a girl with burnout lies in bed. During a fever dream, she meets a guide who takes her on a hallucinatory journey across a raging sea through the fiery centre of the earth, past icebergs and dark forests. The girl discovers the transformative power of the four elements earth, fire, water and air and invents a new myth that inspires and makes her better.
