De Bestorming
As a churning crowd threatens to storm the gates of the Binnenhof, the Netherlands’ leaders try under immense pressure to find the right words to save the country. What do you do when the power of words falls short?
The Hague, the Little Tower. Trust in politics is historically low; the Netherlands ranks low on the global happiness index. The newly appointed Prime Minister and her spin doctor devise a plan: the ultimate speech. But outside, the entire Netherlands is rattling the gates of the Binnenhof. Any form of repression is the spark that would ignite the fire. So the makers return with The Storming – a thrilling and comedic drama inspired by recent political turbulence worldwide.
Following the success of BABA , the same creative makers present a renewed performance. De Bestorming asks what the true influence of the spoken word is on what we do and think—a question that is more relevant than ever in the current political climate.
