It is time for theater maker Julika Marijn to bring non-motherhood out of the shadows and tell a new story. That is why she, as an expert by experience, delves into this personal and sometimes confrontational performance in the world of the NoMo (not-mom).

One in five women does not have a child for various reasons. People in their thirties have endless doubts about 'having' children. Where is she, the NoMo? What gives her life meaning? How does she pass on life? Does she have any regrets? Or is it a blessing?

No Kidding is about everything that happens in a woman's life if she does not become a mother. Because one thing is certain: not having children is just as life-defining as having them.

In No Kidding, Julika digs for answers to questions that are rarely asked out loud. She shows that a life without children can also be full, free, powerful and meaningful. In No Kidding the NoMo finally gets the stage it deserves!

At Theater Festival de Parade 2024, No Kidding was always sold out, there were people crying and laughing. Het Parool recommended the performance as a gem and Trouw wrote: 'We leave the tent bouncing'. The performance is also an eye-opener for people with children.
