DARK is Eindhoven’s Halloween festival. One night a year, the station area transforms into a mysterious world filled with theater, music, dance, art, and unexpected encounters. Behind the festival is a large group of participants who work together for months to create the city’s spookiest night.
During this rehearsal series for individual participants, you’ll work on the creative aspects of the festival under the guidance of professional artists. Together with other participants, you’ll spend three sessions developing characters, performances, movement, audience interaction, and other elements that will come to life during DARK.
Whether you have theater experience or are participating in a cultural project for the first time, everyone is welcome. The rehearsals offer an opportunity to develop new skills, meet other participants, and create something special for the city together.
