Joke Devynck, De Keizerin, the Whore and the Daughter of the Mussel Farmer

After ten years of absence, Joke Devynck returns to the theater! And she does so with fire, because De Keizerin, the Whore and the Daughter of the Mussel Seller is a story that she must tell. Three fascinating women from the Belgian royal house are central. Three women who once dominated the newspapers and whose lives still sound surprisingly current today. Charlotte van België, Empress of Mexico. Blanche Delacroix, sixteen and whore, conquers the heart of the 65-year-old Leopold II and marries him. Lilian Baels, daughter of a ‘mussel seller’, marries Leopold III during the Second World War and thus becomes the woman who brings him down. It will be a show where text, image, and music merge into a unique experience.
