When the last clubbers have left, the cleaner turns on the lights. He takes you into his world: the nightclub in daylight, where lost items tell their stories.

After Hours

More info & tickets

While mopping the dance floor, a cleaner finds the craziest things: passports, phones, used condoms, a finger. He keeps everything he finds and gradually discovers: these items were not lost, but deliberately left behind. The cleaner takes you into his world: the nightclub in daylight.

The club is a place you only visit when it's dark, where different rules apply: in the disco light, you feel free. But what if you look at the same space with the fluorescent lights on? When the club is empty, except for one person. What different stories can a space tell? After Hours peels away the glamour of the night and challenges you to think about who we are when the lights come on again.

After Hours is an on-location theater performance in a nightclub by the creative duo Rinske Bouwman and Inge Wannet. Wearing headphones, you get a unique theatrical experience where lost-and-found items are given a voice and the pumping beat of the nightclub still echoes.

More love and patience for oddballs after the moving story of an illustrious cleaner.

About the Makers

Writer Rinske Bouwman and director/audio maker Inge Wannet form a creative duo that turns location-based theater into an intimate and immersive experience. Their performances combine poetic texts with sensory audio and a strong connection to the performance space.

With headphones as their trademark, Inge brings the audience close to the characters and allows them to experience the space in a new way, while Rinske finds poetry in the everyday with humorous and philosophical texts. Together, they create layered, magical-realist worlds that are both recognizable and alienating.

In After Hours, their collaboration comes to life again: an intimate and imaginative theater experience that reveals the hidden stories of the nightclub and invites the audience to see reality with new eyes.
