Get your tickets online in advance and get ready for an idealistic play about explaining cultural differences through mathematics. The performance is surtitled in English, Japanese and Dutch.

About the play

Looking at it all objectively, if we take a numerical approach, will we discover that we are all the same? Or will we find out that all differences between people and cultures lie much deeper than we think?

An inter­na­ti­onal team of Dutch and Japanese top mathe­ma­ti­cians is close to discovering a model that explains cultural differences. Their clashes and misun­der­stan­dings provide the best argument that their formulas are much needed. Both in bright fluorescent light and under disco lights, these four fearless mathe­ma­ti­cians enter the minefield of cultural misunderstanding.

Super­po­si­tion is an idealistic show as well as an absurd mathe­ma­tical equation: the simi­la­ri­ties and differences between the Netherlands and Japan, between probability and geometry, between man and woman and between newness and tradition are contrasted. A performance about wanting to get through to each other and trying to understand the true inner being of humans, albeit via a giant detour.
