Info

Two artists, a theatre technician and a musician are waiting for their performance to begin. Everything is in place, but where is the audience? It quickly becomes apparent that there are further uncertainties. Who is playing the piano? Whose coffee cup is that flying through the air? And what’s that ghost running off with the extension lead? Are they actually there themselves? And can you really see that, or do you simply have to believe it?

The invisible man is about everything that you don’t see. And secretly also about how wonderful it is not to be seen. Theater Artemis makes theatre that does not stick to its own rules and takes great pleasure in turning the world of the audience – both young and old(er) – on its head.

Jury

If there is such a thing as magic, then it has to be in this amazing show. Batelaan stages intangible, anarchistic theatre for infants that is brimming over with uncomplicated fun and with meaningful use of contemporary (television) technology.

—Jury report

Pers

This requires imagination, and that’s something that children have in abundance (…) A bold children’s performance with a philosophical edge, brightened up with clever visual inventions. Artemis once again sticks its neck out in an unprecedented way.
