Leue: Princess No!

"Are there any children present here who eat fruit salad every day with a golden spoon with fresh fruit from all over the world so finely cut that I don't have to chew anymore and then poured over with a raspberry coulis and decorated with three exactly equal-sized mint leaves? No! Of course not. You are allowed to eat a sandwich or cornflakes sometimes. Lucky ones!" Prinses Nee! moves every week. Or rather, palaces weekly from her mother's palace to her father's palace or vice versa. She should have two "homes", but it doesn't feel like that to her. She is lost for a moment. Two men try to bring her home. They call themselves 1 and 2, but they are clearly much more. "I have everything double, so I never have to move anything! Except my diary, I only have that once. I was missing a sock at both my palaces. And then they wanted to throw the other one away, but then I said, oh no! Those are my spare socks. I put them on when I go from one palace to the other. So now I have them on. You can't see that, but the left one comes from the mom-palace and the right one from the dad-palace." Mona Lahousse, Jonas Leemans, and Dimitri Leue make a fairy tale out of the life of a girl with divorced parents. Fantasy and playfulness are not the packaging of reality, no, they peel away the pent-up sadness and the uncontrolled anger to arrive at acceptance. "What are your favorite chips? If I ask my dad that, he says: "My favorite chips are many. Many chips. Much tastier than few chips."" The music of Antoon Offeciers whips the whole story up into a swinging journey and the costumes of Katinka Heremans (De Maan) bring characters to life that you have never seen before. 1: I am playing a wolf to warn Princess Renée about the dangers of strangers. 2: A wolf is a very strange person indeed. 1: No, I mean... 2: You mean what I understand. Good plan.
