Stel je voor

Six participants set out in October 2025 on a journey to create a half-hour show of their own. They spent the first six months digging for their own stories and the second six months giving those stories shape. One chose comedy, another dance, music, singing or a combination. Anything was allowed, as long as it strengthened their authenticity and crowned their journey.

Along the way they watched professional shows together and questioned the makers at length, learned to ‘act’ with a dramaturg, and worked with a professional technical team to give their shows just the right light and sound. And now it’s finished. Experienced or inexperienced, they are all now well prepared to introduce you to who they really are. In May 2024 the first edition of this year-long programme reached a triumphant climax, in October 2025 the second ended in grand style, and now this third edition is set to top them both.

Participants:

Dian van Rietschoten

Neem mij nou…

And then one day you find yourself standing in front of the mirror. Divorced, 50-plus and ready for a new relationship. How do you go about that in 2026? Where do you meet your new love? How does that first date go?
What do you share and what would you rather keep quiet? What’s your market value?
Dian takes you along on her voyage of discovery through single-land. Past situations you’d rather forget and places where it chafes. New encounters with others, but above all with herself.

Miranda Willems

Imagine: you wake up and everything is still the same.
Same house, same people, same life.
Only you have changed somewhere along the way.

Without anyone asking her, Miranda was moved into a life in which she had to work out all over again who she is, what she can do and where she wants to go.
Amid moving boxes, memories and expectations, she tries to find her new place.

In this solo show she takes you, with humour, honesty and a healthy dose of self-mockery, through awkward situations, small victories and moments that catch you off guard.

Ongevraagd Verhuisd is a show about starting over without ever really having left.

Myrthe van den Kieboom

A one-woman show/cabaret show by Myrthe van den Kieboom.

The peepshow that reveals everything… above all Myrthe’s intense, often strict, but also funny and loving inner world.

How do you deal with all those strong inner characters? All those contradictory MEs now get a stage of their own. Which ME is always there for me?

A whirlwind of emotions, desires and strong opinions. Going under completely, only to take the wheel again and be her own captain.

Where she uses the chaos as inspiration to turn this inner circus into comedy.

The commitment to herself: to be her own best friend and always come back to that one place where, even if only for a moment... there is peace, love, stillness and acceptance. Ik ben er altijd voor jou is a show for all of us, because, whatever happens, you can always be there for yourself.

Myrthe is a 32-year-old Dutch woman living in Berlin. She has been doing theatre and dance all her life. In 2015 she completed the Artiest Theater training programme and went on to work internationally as a freelance all-round performer. From burlesque performer to member of a touring theatre company, from circus to bouffon, from singing to clowning. She does it all, performing and teaching.

Now she is about to make her biggest dream come true: creating her own personal cabaret show.
