Kassys LIGA 8:00 pm, Thursday, October 16, 2008 Kassys is a theater-initiative of Liesbeth Gritter and Mette van der Sijs, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and founded in 1999. The company is known for their innovative use of video and how it’s inextricably linked with the live acting to tell their stories. LIGA starts with the end. A video registration shows how the actors wind up the show which is performed later. The live show follows. We go back in time. In this ‘live flash back’ we observe five characters: young, playful and easy to influence. The human need for attention and conformation makes them susceptible for manipulation. Through seemingly chaotic “directing”,where the naive actors learn ‘to pretend’., Kassys displays the innocent beauty of human success and failure. “Film and reality coincide with each other; the audience has become performer in the show, that’s why there is no end to the applause for this extraordinary theater show.” — TheaterCentraal
