There is nothing. A performance by Elisabeth Lucie Baeten

Collapsed on the kitchen floor, I think of two things: so it really happens, that people collapse on their kitchen floor because of a message, and this seems like the perfect moment to go to a psychologist. 'There is enough of a file here for five patients,' she says after my intake interview. 'Girl, you don't have to tell me,' I think, but I say: 'Yes, I know, sorry. How do you start something like that?' 'I suggest at the beginning.' In this intimate theater show about her new non-fiction novel Er is niks (There is nothing), Elisabeth Lucie Baeten talks – sharp, vulnerable, and with humor – about saying goodbye, fear, and change. About what happens when you keep going until your body and head no longer want to cooperate. Do not expect a classic book presentation, but an evening where words and music come together. Jens Dendoncker opens the show and Elisabeth looks back and ahead with fragments that cut and comfort at the same time, supported by a bit of live music. After the performance, there will be a book sale and signing session. An evening in collaboration with publisher Pelckmans. Elisabeth Lucie Baeten Elisabeth Lucie Baeten is a creative jack-of-all-trades. She is an author, screenwriter, and online satirist with a sharp eye for current events. With her satirical alter egos Katrien van Politiek PR and Showbizz PR Julie, with which she reaches an audience of about 300,000 followers on Instagram, she takes political and other figureheads to task. Her style: smart, witty, and socially engaged. Baeten broke through in 2022 as a children's book author with En ze leefden nog (And they lived happily ever after), a feminist retelling of classic fairy tales, and won the Kastaar for Online Persoonlijkheid of the Year in 2024.
