Room in our house

Groundbreaking dissenting voice

Room in our house brings a groundbreaking counter-voice in this time of crisis. Inspired by the centuries-old peace treaty between the Netherlands and the Haudenosaunee, the NBP team immersed themselves in their community in the United States. A world of democracy, equality, and gentleness. Directed by inspirational speaker Michelle Schenandoah (Oneida/Haudensaunee) and choreographer/theatre maker Nicole Beutler (Dutch-German), and with texts by Indigenous writer and activist Ty Defoe, Room in our house invites the audience to explore everyone's responsibility in peacemaking .

Close encounter / future stories

Following the completion of the climate trilogy with the dance opera Now we are Earth, Nicole Beutler Projects focuses on new perspectives on the future of humanity on Earth. This gives rise to political-poetic performances that strive for an inclusive society and call attention to social justice and Indigenous knowledge. For this production, Beutler therefore sought a collaboration with Michelle Schenandoah, founder of Rematriation – an organization that advocates for the voice of Indigenous women.
