Mission + Vision
NITE is short for National Interdisciplinary Theater Ensemble. NITE is a movement that was initiated by the Noord Nederlands Toneel + Club Guy & Roni + Asko|Schönberg + Slagwerk Den Haag in 2018. Together we create interdisciplinary shows. We live together. We create together. The heart of the movement is the ensemble of actors, dancers, and musicians that evolves with every show, understanding each other more and more and growing to create even more interesting theater. And suddenly, 1+1 is 3.
Interdisciplinary is our middle name
In NITE, we mix theater, dance, music, fashion, film, and visual art. Interdisciplinary Theater is therefore – literally – our middle name. NITE begins in the rehearsal space, with the ensemble, and that results in an overpowering what the f*ck experience on stage.
Limitless ensemble
All members of the ensemble along with the artistic directors endorse the NITE Manifest. We have an ensemble of dancers, actors, and musicians. Every ensemble member excels in his or her own discipline, but is open to cooperation with others. In the productions by NITE, no single discipline dominates. Instead, a new form emerges, a theater form that grows and evolves the longer the ensemble is working together.
What the f*ck?!
If there is one thing that NITE is aiming for, it’s your reaction after a performance: what the f*ck?! As soon as you get home, you realise you have no idea what you just saw. Was it a warm bath or a slap in the face? It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re awake and are looking at the world with new eyes.
