Summary:The viewer's involvement in the productions of Dutch theater company Hollandia is filtered through a five-fold operation, specific to Hollandia' methodical approach to theater: political, micropolitical, metaphysical, intermedial, and actoral engagement. This layered engagement results from a critical position in which the borders between reality and theater are not so much raised as problematical, as exposed as a shared common ground. Hollandia aims at an exposition of socio-political and existential dilemmas by theatrically composing multimedial and interdisciplinary tensions. Hollandia stylizes a two-faced challenge to face both body and soul. Hollanida explicity expresses its solidarity with marginal eccentrics and emphasizes the moral ambiguity that haunts every claim to power. Several of Hollandia's productions are discussed.
