A surreal dance theater piece about the desire to live forever.
With, amongst others, Hugo Koolschijn, Kalin Morrow and the voice of Tom Jansen.
In ‘The Grass Here Is Greener’, the dancers find themselves in an apparently carefree and peaceful world, set in Édouard Manet’s painting ‘Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe’. However, this idyll begins to show troubling technological disturbances with the arrival of two striking characters: A man who, by uploading his brain, made himself immortal and an old man at the end of his life. What does the future hold for those who pursue eternal life?

“Fascinerend om te zien hoe Jocić surrealistische werelden creëert met een ingenieuze mix van visuals, muziek, tekst en dans – en zo met haar team jaagt op een krachtige vormtaal voor de hang naar eeuwig leven.”
