Stichting Caspar Rapak/Peter Zegveld makes theatre productions, performances, audiovisual productions and works of art for as wide an audience as possible.

Peter Zegveld has been producing youth theatre shows for eleven years using home-made instruments and two and three-dimensional images. The interaction between image and sound forms the basis of all his productions. His work relies heavily on effect and film. In his shows, he communicates by means of an extensive sound idiom without the need for much script.

Zegveld’s visual developments share common ground with the developments in multimedia, where the boundaries between the various disciplines are being eroded to achieve a Total experience. He deploys the principles of physics, such as the effects of light, air, sound and gravity. They are manipulated, so that everyday situations are turned into remarkable happenings.

His shows typically stir the audience’s senses at various levels. He encourages spectators to experience and discover absurdities, and go through sensory experiences that defy logic.

For the past five years, Zegveld has been working together with the artistically like-minded Mark Whitelaw.

International: 

Peter Zegveld took Koken met Zegveld/Cooking with Zegveld to Canada in 2006; he had previously toured Germany, Lithuania and Israel with various other shows. His productions Klein Duimpje in de goot/Tom Thumb in the gutter (6+) and Binnenpret/Private joke (4+) are also suitable for the international stage. Klein Duimpje in de goot/Tom Thumb in the gutter uses a combination of animation, sound and acting to relate the adventures of Tom Thumb, while simultaneously telling the story of father and son Strohuis who operate a travelling film theatre for silent movies. Binnenpret/Private joke is a comical children’s show about the difference between inner and outer, directed by Mark Whitelaw and Dick Hauser and performed by Peter Zegveld.
