Toneelspelersgezelschap STAN

Informations générales

Two keywords characterise TG STAN: ‘actor-oriented’ and ‘undogmatic’. They wanted to place the emphasis on themselves, as actors, on their own abilities and manifest failings. They wished to blow up the illusion and to focus on pure acting – if necessary in mutual contradiction –, on a highly personal and rigorous commitment to the character and the story he/she has to tell. Although the company works without a director and refuses to harmonise – or perhaps because of this headstrong attitude – the best STAN performances have a powerful unity. The actors’ pleasure in their work makes the sparks fly, while communicating forceful social or even political statements without ever moralising.
