Deen van Meer - We are such stuff

Stories are told in the theatre. Stories that touch us, confront us with ourselves, the other and society. Stories that give meaning and hold up a mirror, always in a different way. In this way we, the public, can reflect on ourselves and the world around us, with a smile or a tear.Van Meer finds it fascinating to record these stories, to depict the magic of the theatre. It is always a challenge to capture the power of a performance, the emotion of an actor, the beauty of a dancer in a stilled image. An image that, apart from the performance, also has a right to exist and tells its own story.
