Abke Haring's UNISONO Canceled at JACK Due to Visa Issues
Due to international visa issues, JACK will no longer be able to present Dutch actress/playwright/director Abke Haring with her solo piece, UNISONO. The play was originally scheduled to be presented at JACK on Friday, March 3 at 8 pm and Saturday, March 4 at 8 pm. Please accept JACK's apologies for the change in plans.
The piece, depicting a stream of conversations in one mind, has toured Europe since its debut at her home theater, Toneelhuis, in Antwerp, Belgium.
Performed by Abke Haring, UNISONO features sound design by Jimi Zoet, coach Peter Seynaeve, dramaturgy by Erwin Jans. Presented by Toneelhuis (Antwerp, Belgium).
Abke Haring on UNISONO: "UNISONO is a little ritual, a prayer almost. It's a choreography of thoughts and ideas in an intimate, silent space. You see and hear the thoughts of someone who is unsure how to deal with life. In this society there is very little time for silence, uncertainty and searching. Yet all around me I see people looking for an answer as to why things are as they are. This play is about that search for a holdfast. We all want to arrive in a place where we find space, repose and peace."
Abke Haring has been a company member of Toneelhuis, one of Belgium's most renowned state-run theaters, since 2010 - writing plays, directing them and acting in them as well. Most recently, she performed at Toneelgroep Amsterdam in the Ivo Van Hove-helmed production De dingen die voorbijgaan, based on the novel Old People and the Things That Pass by the Dutch writer Louis Couperus. Her own plays include Song#2, Kortstond, Hoop, TRAINER and HOUT. In 2014, Haring took on the lead role in Hamlet vs Hamlet, directed by Guy Cassiers and written by Tom Lanoye. That performance led her to win the Theo d'Or for the best female lead role. That same year, she appeared in Maeterlinck's De blinden, directed by Guy Cassiers. In 2016, she appeared in De welwillenden (The Kindly Ones), after the similarly named novel by Jonathan Littell, also directed by Guy Cassiers. In the 2016-2017 season, she will act in De dingen die voorbijgaan, based on the novel Old People and the Things That Pass by the Dutch writer Louis Couperus, directed by Ivo Van Hove; and in Grensgeval (Borderline), a play by the Austrian author and Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek, directed by Guy Cassiers.
