DE MAAN makes visual theatre for young audiences, addressing them in a mature way. It's an open house, deeply rooted in the puppet and figure theatre, but exploring the wider boundaries of visual performances. All the choices DE MAAN makes, about the scenery as well as the makers, should be adventurous. DE MAAN does not aim to ignore the poetic and direct character of figure theatre, but considers it one of many possible starting points for its performances.
