I THINK I WILL BE HONEST WITH THEM SOON

Mime Opleiding / Lara van Hoof

I THINK I WILL BE HONEST WITH THEM SOON

A terribly fun landscape
Of people who might belong together

Somewhere on a grass hill
Or at a petrol station
Or maybe somewhere in a fancy penthouse
A place where they don’t want to be
And don’t want to leave

Trying hard to enjoy themselves
Waiting for
2 seconds of nothingness

About Lara van Hoof

Lara van Hoof graduated from Regie Opleiding Amsterdam in 2020. She makes physical performances from a microscopic view on social behavior in a group. She is both moved as well as concerned by the way people relate to each other and to life. She experiences society as a stage where we work our ass off to present the best version of ourselves; where we constantly watch and judge each other. Lara creates confusing worlds, both funny and painful, trashy and stylized, frightening and comforting. She directs intuitively, with a strong eye for detail and with absurd humor as an important entrance for creation.
