Evi Hanssen - Boiling hot & tears

In the performance ‘Bloedheet & tranen’, presenter and theater maker Evi Hanssen explores with the necessary dose of humor how the menopause, that wonderful phase in a woman's life, influences her body and mind. She tells about her struggles with herself and her surroundings, her transition from fiery sex bomb to confident graying lady, and the hormonal chaos that turns her life and that of her surroundings upside down. Just like in her previous performance ‘Sinds ik niet meer drink’, Evi engages in a playful and personal conversation with her audience. She shares her experiences about the changes in the female body and explains in a light-hearted, yet scientifically substantiated way, how her hormones occasionally go their own way. With humor, she breaks taboos and celebrates the menopause. This evening is dedicated to celebrating the power of women. Whether you come with friends, or in male company (because they also have to deal with the menopause!), this is the ideal opportunity to toast together to this special phase. Evi Hanssen is active as a television and radio presenter, podcast maker, theater maker, and actress, and is also a bestselling author of several books, including the highly acclaimed ‘Sinds ik niet meer drink’. With ‘Bloedheet & tranen’, she builds further on that recognizable signature: honest, bold, and socially relevant themes. Again, she consciously chooses a subject that is still talked about too little, with the mission to break open this taboo as well.
