Katie (Marit Hooijschuur), a young metal musician without the right documents, has recently arrived in the city, where all her efforts are focused on survival. Having fled the extremely conservative rural community where she grew up, the traumas of her childhood continue to haunt her. One night, after performing on stage, an older man (Hans Dagelet) approaches Katie on the street. Their wondrous encounter, the night that follows and his eventual attempts to save her expose the gulfs that exist between genders, classes and generations. Ultimately, Katie realizes that extreme actions are the only way out within world as hopeless as ours.
Following on from Sheath and Knife (Schede en Mes), Katie Cruel is the second instalment of LENZ’s ‘murder ballad trilogy’ with Frascati Producties: a triptych of productions investigating the complex triangle of victim, perpetrator and onlooker. Each of the shows is different in terms of time, place and musical influences, and each can be experienced individually.
About LENZ
LENZ is the interdisciplinary theatre cooperative made up of actor and writer Marit Hooijschuur (she/her), director and designer Erasmus Mackenna (they/them) and writer and dramaturge Roel Pronk (he/him). The company has been affiliated to Frascati Producties since 2021. The trio previously made Sheath and Knife (Schede en Mes, 2021) and LENZ (2022) with Frascati Producties. Powered a strong sense of social urgency, LENZ present small-scale human stories that expose the nihilistic impasse of our times.
Drenched in idealistic hope, inspired by the underground and dedicated to the stories of outsiders in society, LENZ’s work operates at the intersections of theatre, live music, sociology and performance. In their work, LENZ give shape to alternative futures through radical empathy.
