A dazzling show about the myth of the broken heart
Welcome to the Greek myth of Narcissus and Echo! You know, the one where he turns into a daffodil and she into an echo that you can only hear when you shout in a cave.
And they were so in love, too. He with his own reflection, and she with him. It is the saddest story ever. One with many broken hearts. Truly a myth to weep over. The two actors, Julia and Gerrit, sweep you along in a story that can never be told juicily enough. Until it turns out it might be hitting a little too close to home…
With great passion, Julia and Gerrit pay tribute to love that only comes from one side. Love that leaves you with questions such as: isn’t love at its most beautiful when it goes unrequited? Or would we rather have a happy ending after all?
Ik niet op jou is a sparkling show that gives the old myth a catchy makeover. A lively telling with live music and singing, bursting with cabaret-style characters and dreamy images of days gone by. And one that sometimes makes you feel you’re at the cinema watching a real Disney film.
