Abishek Thapar has been selected by our Dutch partner, Kees Lesuis, Artistic director of Oerol festival. He is of interest to Oerol because he uses the environment he finds himself in as a starting point for the work he creates. His work is connected to the environment, society or politics. He has also previously created work in which interaction with the audience is an important condition for creating a work. Thapar is a multidisciplinary artist, with a broad knowledge of living and working in other countries, bringing a wealth of knowledge, practices and stories to Terschelling that is valuable. For several years, Oerol has been exploring storytelling and how this art form can develop on various levels. Partly for this reason, Thapar is inspiring for the festival.
