De val van Hercules is an immersive choose-your-own adventure performance based on Greek mythology and the Dutch Golden Age. Following 10 separate characters on their journeys to unpack and dismantle masculinity, the surrealist world invites the audience to engage with live performance on a different level.
Drawing historical comparisons between Jan Pieter Zon Coen and Hercules, the performance analyses and reinterprets past heroes and attempts to create new ones.
