Evi Hanssen
The menopause without the nonsense
Let’s raise a glass to the menopause. Leave the theatre with your head held high, your breasts hanging a little lower (for the ladies) and a healthy dose of self-confidence. Long live the menopause!
In the show ‘Bloedheet & tranen’, Flemish presenter and theatre-maker Evi Hanssen explores, with a good dose of humour, how the menopause – that curious phase in a woman’s life – affects her body and mind. She talks about her struggles with herself and those around her, her transition from fiery sex bomb to self-assured greying lady, and the hormonal chaos that turns her life, and that of those around her, upside down.
Just as in her previous show ‘Sinds ik niet meer drink’, Evi engages with her audience in a playful and personal way. She shares her experiences of the changes in the female body and explains, in a light-hearted yet scientifically grounded way, how her hormones sometimes go their own way. With humour she breaks taboos and celebrates the menopause together with you. This evening is all about celebrating the strength of women. Whether you come with your girlfriends or with male company (because they have to deal with the menopause too!), this is the perfect opportunity to raise a glass together to this remarkable phase of life.
