Hier zijn we koningen is a universal story about uprooting and the journey that follows. In this musical theater production by Het Zuidelijk Toneel, Lisette Ma Neza ventures into unraveling what was hidden deep inside. A variety of undisclosed family anecdotes about flights from Rwanda, the horrors of genocide, but above all overwhelming silence.
Mike Evers of Theatermachine created the lighting design for this touring theater production. With architectural lighting elements added to set pieces (led strips 3000K.) and a rig consisting of led sourced moving lights (Robe LEDWash 300, Robe CycFX 8, Robe DL7S Profile, SGM P-5 RGBW, ETC ColourSource Spot), the lighting has been designed to provide sufficient atmosphere and creative possibilities for the staging by Ira Kip. In combination with masking, cyclorama, gauze and the use of a bright vinyl dance floor, the theatrical stage design creates a space in which the set design by Eddy van der Laan comes to life.
