The subject of the three parts of The Fish Pond Song is an imaginary war. It is not an epic tale of battles but, a layered narrative filled with the fears and dreams that lie deep within us. In Kooijmans’ hands, war is an abstraction that is full of fantasy; it is the evil that lurks, the madness that can rage in people’s heads, but there is a gleam of hope too
