Performative installation by Jef van Gestel
Jef van Gestel is an actor, director, and visual artist. He was born and raised in Antwerp and has been living in Amsterdam since 2021.

Jef van Gestel’s theater work is like a mental playground where the viewer is set free in their associations. His performances are physical and visual, characterised by a playful nature, sensitivity, and laced with absurd humour while pushing boundaries. Alienating poetry and an untamed imagination are characteristic of his style. Often, his work intersects with Dadaism, Antonin Artaud, and contemporary visual art. Thematically, he is fascinated by the vulnerable human, the one who is naive and childlike, touching in their love and failures. On the other hand, he is interested in the creative individual searching for ultimate freedom and willing to explore their obscure sides. Typically starting from a thematic concept or a form idea, he creates performances from scratch. More information about the performance installation will follow.
