In this legend, the scholar Maimonides is in search of the secret of all creation in order to defeat death. <em>Golem<\/em> is a moving performance dealing with juxtapositions such as creation and destruction, reason and fear. A stilled, filmic imagery commingles contemporary scientists with ancient human ambition. The longing to create an eternal life is associated with a fear of something that overrules us. It is a theme that inspires people since the beginning of mankind: from the mythic Golem about Frankenstein to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/thomas_ryckewaert_-_golem_c_koen_broos_2.jpg\" alt=\"thomas_ryckewaert_-_golem_c_koen_broos_2\" class=\"wp-image-2196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/thomas_ryckewaert_-_golem_c_koen_broos_2.jpg 460w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/thomas_ryckewaert_-_golem_c_koen_broos_2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/thomas_ryckewaert_-_golem_c_koen_broos_2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(c) Koen Broos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Script &amp; direction: Thomas Ryckewaert<br>Cast: Efrat Galai, Rosie Sommers, Jef Stevens, Kurt Vandendriessche<br>Scenography: Erki De Vries<br>Light design: Giacomo Gorini<br>Sound design: Senjan Jansen<br>Costume design: Andrea Kr\u00e4nzlin<br>Direction assistant: Sibran Sampers<br>Scenography assistant: Maria Anastasiou<br>Production: Worff vzw\/Hiros<br>Coproduction: deSingel, Kaaitheater, Vooruit, TAKT Dommelhof, Platform 0090<br>In association with BUDA, wpZimmer<br>With the support of the city of Antwerp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11460","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Golem - wpZimmer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.be\/en\/projects\/golem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Golem - wpZimmer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A group of researchers is eager to carry out what seems to be a groundbreaking experiment.
