men become legends. Women are myths.

An Eco-Feminist music theater performance about power, myths and the danger of leadership

It is 2050. The Netherlands is largely flooded. Only Venlo remained dry and is named the new capital. The Dutch go south, including their matchbars, start-ups and podcasts. But here too the Maas swells. The water crawls. The threat is real.

If politics continues to meet and the people party as if the world is not burning, one woman intervenes: bitch. She saves the city with nothing but her courage and a handful of bras. Her deed is celebrated as heroic. She is crowned president. Tot redder van het nieuwe vaderland.

Maar hoe vier je een overwinning als je voelt dat dit pas het begin is van nog veel meer ellende?

In de zijkamer van een overwinningsfeest zit Trut met haar twee raadgevers: Athena, de godin van de strategie, en Aphrodite, de godin van het hart en het verlangen. Together they look back, they make plans, collide with truth and tactics. While the music drains down, bitch struggles with the question: what does it mean to have power in a world that refuses to change?

slowly becomes clear: her real enemy is not the water, but the collective desire to look away. The urge to mitigate everything, to forget, to celebrate, while the world is on breaking.

As Cassandra saw everything and was not believed.
As Jean d’Arc fought and burned.
As Gertruid Bolwater has become a statue.

Women speak the truth are still being pushed back:A ritual for women who refuse to laugh away their intuition. A scream from within, in the language of struggle, poetry and pop music.

“The bravest thing you'll ever do is live in the truth
and let your heart speak, even if no one believes her."
