Kim Zeevalk

A claustrophobic encounter with IKEA's costumer service.

A woman’s unusual attempt at intimacy is disrupted when she notices something is wrong with her BILLY bookcase. What starts off as a mundane problem slowly unravels into an absurd shift of reality. Please hold is part of an ongoing project exploring the interaction between text, physical performance and scenography, where objects become co-performers and discomfort grows monstrous.

Kim Zeevalk is an Amsterdam-based creator and performer with a background in mime and visual theater. Her work starts with  the body, often struggling with objects, spaces, oruncomfortable situations. With a keen eye for tragedy and humor, she extracts theatricality from everyday life. Often resulting  in surrealistic and whimsical reflections of human behaviour.
