HISTORY OF MADNESS
What place do we give people who deviate from the norm in our society? What does it mean to care for each other in changing times?
Between 2018 and now, Struyf and his team made about eight trips in which they closely followed Willard’s people and landscape. The result will be a multimedia, cinematic performance, in which the audience is seated around a model of Willard, making you, the spectator, very closely involved with the place and making you feel as if you were walking around it yourself. Finding Willard is a travelogue, a personal quest about construction and decay, care and community.
