Al het blauw van de hemel - Buddy Vedder en Shelley Bos
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 result is a moving theater performance in which story and music reinforce each other. All the blue of the skytouches 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.
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.
From every theater ticket sold, 1 euro goes to Alzheimer Netherlands, to promote research into Alzheimer's disease.
