ShELFISH produces and presents interdisciplined theatre with a social-political involvement. The projects define themselves in co-creating an event of theatre with its spectator; co-creating a common time and space to share and reflect on complex and difficult sides of our individual and shared existence and environment. The projects offspring from uncomfortable, confronting, intimate, moving yet unavoidable questions emerging from subjects straight out of the heart of society. ShELFISH believes in theatre as a place to discover thingsyou don’t know yet or don’t want to know. We see theatre as an opportunity of common solidarity to judge what happens around, an opportunity to question our laws and behaviour. ShELFISH is a Groningen-based theatre organization with artistic leadership by actor/director Veerle Van Overloop, inclose dialogue with dancer/choreographer Olympia Kotopoulos and dramaturg Judith Blankenberg. Together with Karlijn Vermeij for communication/marketing and business producer Frits Selie, they form the core team.
