Troost voor Cool (Comforting Cool) is a summer project by Theater Babel Rotterdam, in which theatre maker Brecht Hermans goes out into our neighborhood with actors from the company. After Self-portraits of Delfshaven we will now explore the Cool neighborhood, which is the neighborhood around our theatre. Through scenes about comfort, Babel will have theatrical encounters with neighbors and visitors of the neighborhood. Where did you find comfort in the past months? How can art offer comfort? Every actor makes and plays their own personal scene, in which they show the power of (inclusive) art: the power to comfort and the power of imagination.

From July 14th until August 13rd, we will go out into the Cool-neighborhood on every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. From 1 to 3pm, we will visit a square or sidewalk and perform for everyone we meet.
