What's On at LAF

Movement director and choreographer Fleur de Thier and multi-disciplinary artist Simon van der Sluijs have once again collaborated on creating a new work: ‘Axis Mundi’. For the last 10 years Fleur and Simon have developed their unique and very successful brand of theatre with a mix of dance, physical theatre, puppetry and mask work, poetry and music. Most recently with ‘Mantra’ (2019) and ‘Requiem’ (2022/23) which were performed in LAF for sold out houses.

‘Axis Mundi – A story about a tree in three parts’ is based on a belief many cultures share that a tree, the Axis Mundi, holds up the cosmos. The World Tree is said to dwell in three worlds: Its roots reach down to the underworld, its trunk sits on the Earth, and its branches extend up to the heavens.
