The Lab

The Lab is an immersive, sensory installation inspired by the labyrinth and all its myths, in which sound, light, space, and movement distort perception. By moving through a scenographically designed environment covering approximately 2,100 square meters, you are immersed in a new world.

A world that swallows and encloses you, where getting lost seems inevitable, and your senses are disrupted and tested. In this in-between space, you break free from existing walls, transform from spectator to protagonist, and break with rules and expectations. You examine your own way of thinking, ultimately posing the collective question: Where are we going?

The Lab is a production by Body of Art/Annemijn Rijk in collaboration with Theun Mosk.

“With each step, it becomes increasingly clear that The Lab is primarily an intense, yet intimate journey to your own core and foundation. And for those who want it, it can also be a reflection of a society where darkness demands all the attention and the future becomes uncertain.” – Review Theaterkrant
