Katwijk - Compagnie Red Yellow Blue

When her friends cancel their annual midweek getaway at the last minute, sixty-something Andrea asks her lesbian daughter Joosje to the luxury holiday bungalow in Katwijk. Joosje has been at home with a burn-out for six months and does not want to disappoint her mother again. But because a midweek alone with her mother seems like hell on earth to her, she convinces her best friend Laurens to come along. And now the three of them are in rainy Katwijk. Joosje can only sleep, Laurens tries to make everyone happy and Andrea had imagined it all very differently. 

When Andrea finds the manuscript of his debut novel in Joosje's bag, the luxurious bungalow turns into a verbal battlefield before dessert and even Laurens' culinary delights can no longer save the sour atmosphere.

Katwijk sketches an intimate portrait of two generations who want to understand each other, but do not, with the aim of bringing them closer together. “It is beautiful how the makers refuse to take sides and make it palpable how both mother and daughter actually yearn for the acceptance and appreciation of the other.” (NRC  ★★★★)

Queer top theater
After rave reviews and the selection for the Dutch Theater Festival of their previous performance Who's afraid of Oscar Wilde, but above all the reactions of the audience, Compagnie Red Yellow & Blue continues their mission to create top queer theater for a wide audience with Katwijk. 

With accessible, intelligently written comedies, the company uses laughter to take you to pain points that deserve more attention. Pain points between people, in society and on the world stage. The makers want to entertain, abrasive, move and connect and are committed to representing groups and perspectives that are underexposed.
