Marijn Brussaard

Biography

Multidisciplinary artist Marijn Brussaard (The Netherlands, 1993) works with performance, (video) installation, music and sound design. He graduated in 2014 as a performer and maker at the Amsterdam School of the Arts (Mime department). 

Brussaard is conceptually and musically driven. He researches and reflects on the theatrics of modern-day phenomena and finds that tension and drama often lie in the inconsistencies and paradoxes of these subjects.

His work can be described as form experiments and is often poetic, humorous or absurd by nature. The contrast between what is real and synthetic or hyperreal is a recurrent theme in his work.

At Frascati, Marijn Brussaard has created several productions, including Variety Show (2015) a solo created at Fraslab that he later developed in a performance with Elias de Bruyne. At Frascati Productions, Brussaard also created his performance Forever Young (2015) and audiovisual experience Blue (2017).

In de pers

"In een hypnotiserende samensmelting van techno, motion capture en digitale avatars schetst hij een wereld waarin het verlangen naar echtheid steeds utopischer lijkt te worden."
