Heintz & Kop

Lift Off

Since the dawn of time, we have gazed at the stars, searching for meaning, perspective, and our place in the universe. But what if you don’t have to look up to experience that sense of infinity?

In this great little space journey, we take you past Orion, the Big Dipper, and Cassiopeia—a choreography of constellations guiding you to the edge of our solar system. Lift Off explores how to evoke that overwhelming vastness within a small, everyday space like an elevator. A place you usually step into without thinking becomes a launchpad for stillness and wonder.

Heintz & Kop is the duo of Tom Heintz and Jolein Kop. Working as lighting designers, scenographers, and theater makers, they focus on what often goes unnoticed, aiming to spark awe for the everyday—for what has always been there. With a keen eye, they explore the world around us, driven by a deep curiosity about fleeting moments: a sunbeam entering a room in Pascalerf 48 (2024), or the serene stillness hanging above us in the clouds, as in Drôome Lôoper (2023).

In 2024, their performance Pascalerf 48 was also presented at Festival Cement.
