The Women We Fear
Season 26-27 |
Happiness as act of resistance
The visual performance Klein Verzet, featuring live actors and puppetry by Cat Smits Company, is a playful ode to aging on your own terms, claiming your space, and discovering that asserting your right to happiness can be an act of resistance.
Cat Smits studied musicology and earned a Bachelor of Arts at the Amsterdam School of the Arts. She specialized in puppetry at l’École internationale de la Marionnette in Charleville-Mézières. With Stichting Cat Smits Company, she creates physical, visual theater and film productions.
She also creates foam sculptures that appear both in her own work and in productions by other companies. Her work has been shown in countries such as Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Iceland. Her sculptures have also appeared in productions by Duda Paiva Company, Cezanne Tegelberg & Co, De Grote Haay, and De Witte Pomp.
