Holly Goosebumps - Het Zuidelijk Toneel

Soundtracks make the film: who doesn’t recognize the Iiiih!-Iiih!-Iiih! from Psycho and the Tumtum-tumtum-tumtum from Jaws? Groundbreaking theater director Ada Ozdogan draws inspiration from iconic films, and for this production, she focuses on the power of the soundtrack. Using cinematic sound references, she creates her own version of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. Swishing swords, cracking bones, creaking doors, powerful screams, iconic snippets of dialogue... With a relay of sounds and text fragments, the performers guide you through a labyrinth of cinematic references that take your breath away, make your heart race, or give you a lump in your throat.

About the Creator Ada Ozdogan graduated from the directing program in Maastricht and works around themes of identity and ideology. The unique expressiveness of her work was immediately noticeable after her graduation in visionary and hilarious productions: her show Grace was nominated for the BNG Bank Theater Prize in 2023. Doppelgangers was chosen by the press as one of the five best productions of the season in 2019. Ada is set to create a production at Het Zuidelijk Toneel in 2025 and 2027, where she will delve into pop culture and our shared frames of reference.
