To Have Or Not To Have, long version

Visual theatreperformance by TAMTAM objektentheater from The
Netherlands.

In the beginning there was nothing.
And then there was something.
And then everyone wanted to have it.
To be has become to have.

A rusty fairytale full of beautiful images with undeniable elements of the spaghetti-western, a shot of Shakespeare and a generous dose of subtle humor.

The wild west combined with the dark middle-ages. A beautiful rusty fairytale mixed with elements of the spaghetti western, a dash of Shakespeare and a generous dose of subtle humor.
With themes like: greed, jealousy, recklessness, egotism, stupidity and other very human qualities.
Supported by a hypnotizing soundtrack with influences from Texas to Turkey .
Without text so that everyone can understand it.

The actors in this piece are old rusty metal and weather-beaten wooden objects. Materials that also figure in the visual art of Gérard Schiphorst and Marije van der Sande. The beginning of the performance is like a dreamy fairytale with an almost prehistoric world on the long sandtable.

The introduction of an alien object causes the story to degenerate in a ruthless but hilarious medieval arms-race. A duel between an impertinent pair of pliers and a tenacious mole trap, fought with all lawful and illegal means.
