En ze maakte een kind - Orkater

Muziek

A woman (Meral Polat) creates the opportunity in a musical solo to shape motherhood in her own way. She unraveled what it means for her, as an artist and as a ritual. Because in the arts, death is made for literature and dying endlessly, but having a child hardly plays a role on stage. Giving life still belongs to the intimate domain, where mothers live and stay away from artists. While having it or not, and taking care of children, many is an existential experience.

And she made a child was exclusively seen in 2023 in Theater Bellevue and is now going on tour throughout the Netherlands. This is how she connects parenthood and artistry. That comes together beautifully at the end.”(NRC ★★★★)
" and she made a child is a performance of women about that one subject, whether or not you have them, is inescapable: motherhood. Meral Polat gives a new interpretation to the theme in an unparalleled solo. "(Theaterkrant (choice of the critic))
