Nachtwacht is a typical NITE performance: energetic, musically driven and extremely relevant. After the success of Salam, Jack Wouterse is back with NITE for this new, pitch black, incredibly funny and deeply saddening performance.

Through inevitable aging and death, Nachtwacht deals with themes such as family, authority and emancipation. A family tragedy in which everyone tries to break free from their assigned roles, to get the chance to define a role for themselves that they truly believe in. It’s dark but also meditative. Oppressive but ultimately liberating. A weakening heartbeat slowly turns into an upward beat. A ritual journey to the end of the night, towards the first light of the new day. 

“Nachtwacht will be a musical journey through the dark depths of being human. About breaking free and liberating ourselves from ingrained, prescribed roles. It will be a big performance, with an even bigger cast. I am incredibly happy to have Jack Wouterse return at the helm.” – Guy Weizman

With a cast of 27 of musicians, dancers and actors, Nachtwacht is a big performance about the small, personal moments in life that are recognizable to us all. 

Language no problem

NITE tours with surtitles. That way, we can make Nachtwacht suitable for people who do not speak Dutch but can read English.
