URLAUB REVISITED

URLAND
Tue 16 Dec ’25 and Wed 17 Dec ’25
An Italo-Disco-recreation-horror. WE NEED VACATION FROM VACATION.
Tue 16 Dec ’25
and
Wed 17 Dec ’25

Five years after the original URLAUB, URLAND revises this Italo-Disco-recreation-horror and comes to the realization that it’s gotten worse: URLAUB Revisited. How can we let go, if there is nothing left to hold on to?

Welcome to the age of the mental pandemic, omnipresent pressure, increasing insecurities and even MORE burnouts (missed it? Impossible!). The exhausted society is over-stimulated and hyperactive. The homo economicus markets himself and quietly weeps bitter Prozac tears. We work under voluntary compulsion and relax in compulsive freedom. Mindfulness becomes restlessness.

Too much truth, too much untruth, too many expectations, too much data, too much access, too many friends….

TRANQUILO. WE NEED TO TAKE A BREAK. SEDATE US. WE NEED VACATION FROM VACATION.

URLAND disconnects and sets out to look for the meaning of Nothingness.

ABOUT URLAND

URLAND works collectively. URLAND is autonomous. URLAND wants Gesamtkunst. URLAND has no method. URLAND experiments. URLAND is paradoxical. URLAND resides somewhere between artificial and real. URLAND appropriates, quotes and samples. URLAND clashes. URLAND believes in live art in digital times.

URLAND, an innovative performance collective from Rotterdam, consists of Geräuschmacher Jimi Zoet, Bildermacher Marijn Alexander de Jong, Geschichtenmacher Thomas Dudkiewicz and a solid group of fellow combatants. URLAND makes eclectic, interdisciplinary performances that clash between different styles, forms and themes, between visual culture and world literature, data and dada, digital oracles and philosophy. URLAND focuses on the fundamental, on telling and theatricalising existential stories that make the elusiveness of the contemporary palpable.
