Al het blauw van de hemel (try out)
All the blue of the sky
When Emile is diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's, he decides to leave his safe but suffocating environment behind. On impulse he buys a camper and places a call for a traveling companion. The mysterious Joanne responds. Together they embark on an unexpected road trip that confronts them with memories, desires and the question of how to continue living when the future is so uncertain.
The story that gently breaks and heals your heart
The result is a moving theater performance in which story and music reinforce each other. All the blue of the sky touches on themes that everyone recognizes: loss, hope, starting over and the courage to face yourself. A comforting experience for anyone who has ever lost someone, perhaps even themselves.
All the blue of heaven is a brand new music theater piece based on the bestseller of the same name by Mélissa Da Costa. Buddy Vedder and Shelley Bos play the leading roles in this intimate, lived-in musical play, directed by Daan Wijnands, with lyrics by Max Roijé and music by Mark Kuypers.
1 euro from every theater ticket sold goes to Alzheimer Nederland, to promote research into Alzheimer's disease.
