Visual Theater
Ulrike Quade Company makes visual theater. Our shows consist of a unique mixture of performance, dance, music, scenography and literature, with puppetry as the main common denominator. Sometimes these are placed in the tradition of Asian puppetry (like bunraku or wayang), but just as much we like to use hyperrealistic puppets (as lifelike copies of the performers) or high-tech specimens such as robots or cyborgs.
Our shows range from intimate lunch performances to large scale opera’s that are put on in the Netherlands, Europe and the rest of the world.
Acquainting with the future
As the world changes, our stories have to change with it. Our language takes an indirect route: through poetry and magic. Through poetry and magic we create new worldviews and perceptions of humankind. By exploring and familiarising the future, together we shape and own it.
With our innovation trajectory we bring art and science together. We investigate how technology influences humans and the theater. At the same time we see how we can contribute, with our knowledge of animating and enlivening objects, to the development of technologies.
Organisation
Ulrike Quade Company is based in Amsterdam and works with a team of collaborators led by Ulrike Quade. The company is supported by the four-year structural funding schemes 2021-2024 by the Performing Arts Fund and the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts.
