Piss Pool
De Doelen
PISS POOL is a theatrical video installation about a TikTok house for people over 60, designed as a wellness center full of luxurious facilities. From a feminist perspective, the work explores ageism and criticizes the capitalist wellness culture that wants to keep the female body young and perfect, while self-care is seen as an individual responsibility rather than a collective concern.

Theo Maassen – Onbegonnen Werk
Oude Luxor Theater
Until 12 December
‘Onbegonnen Werk’ revolves around the pursuit of an impossible ambition: creating that one performance in which the personal and the universal come together, in which humor and drama, poetry and vulgarity, sense and nonsense, and even madness are simultaneously present.
Although it may seem impossible, it is precisely this impossible task that must be done. The goal is to touch and carry the audience along, so that they leave the performance enlightened, confused, comforted, and reborn.
