Club Guy & Roni Invites: Barnaby Booth + Lunatics & Poets

Barnaby Booth | A Funny Little Show about Endings

Inspired by the happy endings in sitcoms such as Friends, Will & Grace and Seinfeld, choreographer Barnaby Booth takes ‘A Funny Little Show about Endings’ to create a humorous dance performance with a Lynchain twist, in which dramatic characters meet their inner motivations.

Booth, a gifted lighting designer in addition to choreographer, previously collaborated with Club Guy & Roni’s Poetic Disasters Club for the performance ‘Like a Prayer,’ shown at De Parade in 2023. The production received rave reviews from NRC and de Volkskrant, among others, and was even part of De Parade’s prestigious closing gala.

Lunatics & Poets | Village Storm

In ‘Village Storm’ Lunatics & Poets explore the world of instinctive desires embedded in human beings. But also desires stemming from societal demands fueled by advertisements, social media and celebrity culture. Inspired by Louise Glück's collection “A Village Life” and philosopher René Girard's theories about “borrowed” desires - and our yearning for imitating those we admire - a penetrating portrait unfolds about how desire plays a role in our daily lives and how it affects our identity. Equally recognizable and confrontational.

Anna Jacobs and Hanna van der Meer are known for their impressive set and costume designs and cinematic imagery. For Club Invites 2022-23, they previously created the poetic collage performance 'Postcards from a Better Place'.
