Today we attended an one man show in the theater in Groningen. It is an act not easily classified. Basically he told us about his own family during the 19th and 20th centuries in Indonesia. The effect was a powerful story about the past of the Netherlands as a colonial power and the Second World War in Asia. These are subjects not easily talked about here and his show caused quite a stir. Many now very old people who lived through that and never before shared their experiences, spoke up after seeing this show. Very powerful stuff.
In the fall of 2012 Diederik van Vleuten will start a new show using the same concept. This time about the first world war. I am looking forward to it.
