House of Creations

Meet the makers! Het Geluid Maastricht (a collective founded by brother and sister Gable and Romy Roelofsen) is an experimental platform for the creation of new, engaged forms of music theatre and opera, that often works with new technologies or social developments.

"We see the making of music theatre as a bridge between the new and the old, and as a crossroads of opposites and perspectives. Through music theatre, we investigate the world around us and let that world speak for itself in our work. The questions 'What does the music theatre of the future look like?', 'How can music theatre contribute to an inclusive and healthy society?' and 'In which places in society can music theatre be a valuable addition in our ever-changing world?' are guiding us in our thinking and acting. With Het Geluid Maastricht, we are always looking for the primal force of (new) communities."

Glossary

Cisgender, fluidity, transgender, non-binary... Issues of gender identity not only form one of the cornerstones of Les Nids d'oiseaux, they have become increasingly central to many people's expressions of self. A new vocabulary is emerging to account for the differences between body, sex (the anatomy prescribed at birth) and gender. Language helps us to identify who we are and to understand others. In this National Geographic article you will find a glossary to help you find your way in the rainbow of possible identities .
