To Have Or Not To Have (short version)

(see also long version for better quality)
a visual theatre performance by TAMTAM objektentehater from Holland.
It is a rusty fairytale full of beautiful images with undeniable elements of the spaghetti-western, a shot of Shakespeare and a generous dose of sutle 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.
