Stel je voor

Six participants started a journey in October 2025 to create their own half-hour performance. The first six months of digging for their own stories and the second half of the year shaping those stories. One opted for comedy, the other for dance, music, singing or a combination. Anything was allowed as long as it enhanced the authenticity and crowned their journey.

In addition, they watched professional performances together and interviewed the makers extensively, they learned to 'act' with a dramaturge and they worked with a professional technical team to provide their shows with the right light and sound. And now it's finished. Experienced, inexperienced, but now they are all ready to introduce you to who they really are. The first edition of the annual program came to a successful climax in May 2024, the second concluded in a grand manner in October 2025 and now this third edition will surpass that.

Participants:

Dian van Rietschoten

Take me now…

And one day you stand in front of the mirror. Divorced, 50+ and ready for a new relationship. How do you approach that in 2026? Where will you meet your new love? How does that first date go?
What do you say and what do you prefer to remain silent about? What is your position in the market?
Dian takes you on her journey of discovery through single country. Past situations that you would rather forget and places where it chafes. New encounters with others but especially with themselves.

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.

Miranda was moved without asking to a life in which she had to rediscover who she is, what she can do and where she wants to go.
She tries to find her new place among moving boxes, memories and expectations.

In this solo performance, she takes you through uncomfortable situations, small victories and moments that unexpectedly touch you with humor, honesty and the necessary self-mockery.

Unsolicited Moved is a performance about starting over without ever really leaving.

Myrthe van den Kieboom

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

The peep show that shows everything... especially the intense, regularly strict, but also the funny and loving inner world of Myrthe.

How do you deal with all those strong inner characters? All those contradictory SELF's are now given a stage. Which ME is always there for me?

A whirlwind of emotions, desires and strong opinions. Totally ruined and then taking the wheel again and being her own captain.

Where she uses the chaos as inspiration to turn this internal circus into humor.

The commitment to herself, to be her own best friend and to always come back to that one place where, even if just for a moment... peace, love, silence and acceptance. I am always there for you is a performance for all of us, because no matter what happens, you can always be there for yourself.

Myrthe is a 32-year-old Dutch girl living in Berlin. She has been doing theater and dance all her life. In 2015 she completed her Theater Artist training and then started working as an internationally independent all-round artist. From burlesque performer to being part of a touring theater group, from circus to bouffon, from singing to clown. She does it all, performing and teaching.

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