In Groningen, the town in the middle of Northern Holland, known as cultural centre with many universities and colleges, there was in 91 an extraordinary meeting of European student set-designers. The students from nearly all European theatre-designing schools took part with their own ideas and performances. Together they formed an unforgettable seven days happening called 'Out of Frames.' Was it a meeting of avantgarde? Or only of future conformists? Originality or insanity? Enthusiasm? Calm? Panic? Those who were personally present said it was 'superb.' 'Groningen will grab you. It´ll nab you. It´ll attack you. Which is why you have to know to defend yourself. The best form of defence is attack. And the best form of attack is in set design.'
