For Format Gava 2010 I teamed up with my sister to make a show about our own family history. We combined our own family archive - which contained photos, letters and some super 8mm footage - with the massive collection of the Groninger Archives. This resulted in six stories performed with live music and live visuals. Kris Vesseur wrote the music, I designed the visuals. We performed the show twice on the Noorderzon Festival (NL) and once at 'The Best of Format Gava' in Forum Images, Groningen (NL).

To combine all these different elements I made a motion graphic storyboard in which the archive material was placed. This way the visual style remained intact throughout the whole show. Themes such as 'life' and 'death' were a common thing in the stories and I tried to reflect this in the visuals. This is one of the six stories. The Noorderzon festival is one of the more renowned cultural festivals in The Netherlands.
