Performance Bar

In collaboration with the avant-gardistic and underground venue WORM in Rotterdam, we bring The Performance Bar to Welcome to The Village: A transformable stage/bar that blurs the boundaries between café and theatre, bar and stage, artist and audience. The Performance Bar presents all kinds of acts that span across the categories of art and entertainment. A seemingly normal evening out suddenly becomes an adventure when performers jump on the bar and present everything from the lowbrow to the profound, never taking longer than it takes you to drink your pint of beer. Get ready for an unforgettable experience which will have you on the edge of your bar-stool!

The Performance Bar is an initiative by Daan Draait and Studio Borstlap. Daniel van den Broek, a.k.a. Daan Draait, is a multi-artist who’s involved in a range of fields such as theatre, performance and film. Florian Borstlap works as an autonomous artist and performer and also leads an existence as captain of a ship. Together they share a passion for outrageous performances. With The Performance Bar they realise a longstanding dream to create an exciting place for performance art in Rotterdam.
