In PLATINA, Abke Haring seeks out the company of an opponent who is actually present, played by Koen van Kaam, with whom she enters into discussion. Or at least, with whom she wants to enter into discussion. Insofar as a discussion is ever possible. Or is permitted. Or is circumvented. Haring searches for the words on the border of silence. Inevitable, compelling and perhaps even - eventually - healing.
For this intimist duet, musician Jimi Zoet designs a penetrating soundscape that closely follows the twists and turns of the actors’ thoughts.
“Abke Haring and Koen van Kaam play two people who fail to reach each other: a poetic and penetrating duet. Moving and beautiful.” - De Volkskrant
