I invite you onto a ship where performances take place in, on, and around it—where poems are recited, songs are sung, soup is shared, beers are poured, and together we move into the night.
With 19 performers, I created a large celebration as my graduation project. I built a floating platform 15 meters long where we explored how a party can become theatre. The night offers so much space and freedom—can we structure it and turn it into a performance or a ritual?
The audience became part of this celebration, free to explore and move through the space.
