Background

What started as a pandemic project eventually took off. More than a video presentation, Square 2.1 is a virtual experience. You explore your own living environment, carry out assignments, and you see a performance. This special concept not only received a lot of attention in the Dutch press, but the performance is now known internationally as a successful example of a performance in which the digital and physical worlds are brought together.
