BIOGRAPHY DAVY PIETERS
The performances directed by Davy Pieters (1988) are explorations of the future human beings, and the way they are influenced by technical innovation and visual culture. Her productions are characterized by her dominantly visual, physical and cinematic style.
Davy graduated in 2011 from the directing course at the Maastricht Academy of Performing Arts. She was awarded the De Henriette Hustinxprijs for Excellent Talent for this graduation piece. “She develops her projects on the intersection of theatre and performance with the courage to experiment”, said the jury about her work. Davy produced several productions with Frascati Productions between 2012 until 2016.
Her first work was the hilarious, horrific fairy tale An Elephant (2012). Davy went on to create the highly-praised monologue The Truth About Kate (2014), which was selected for the National Dutch Theatre Festival and Circuit X in Flanders, and brought her a nomination for the BNG Nieuwe Theatermakersprijs Award. This was followed by How did I die (2014), and Made in Here (2016). How did I die won the Audience Award at the Fast Forward Festival for Young Directors in Braunschweig (Germany) in 2016. In the summer of 2016, Davy produced Re-enactment of the Now with Theater Utrecht.
Theater Rotterdam became Davy’s new home in 2017, where she previously made the performances The Unpleasant Surprise and How to Build a Universe: the first one was, together with How did I die, selected for La Biennale di Venezia in 2018, and the latter one received the prestigious VSCD Mime Award 2019.
