Overview

TAMTAM have been developing a very personal style of visual theatre since 1979. With objects, images, sound and music and stage-technology tell the stories.

The cooperation of Gérard Schiphorst en Marije van der Sande resulted in a peculiar object-art that lead them to festivals in 23 countries, where they are well known for their esthetic style, absurd humour and originality.

Next to theatre they are also active in writing, music, video and plastic art.  Some of it already appears on this site. In their workshop in Deventer they produce theatre and art and receive groups for special performances workshops and masterclasses
