Veerle Baetens & Bo Spaenc: Here, I as empress – Molenstraat 103/Bus 5

In a world that is becoming increasingly harder and uglier, gray mouse Minnie retreats. In Molenstraat 103 bus 5 she is empress and wields the scepter. Here she burns her mousiness and her mood rules. And otherwise: off with the head. But is she allowed to breathe fire in a world that is already burning? Or does she then become what she abhors: a hunter, a chaser, a colonist? And who heals the wounds then? Veerle Baetens and Bo Spaenc search for a possible answer. Veerle gives Minnie a voice while Bo’s music weaves through her words. Hier, ik als keizerin is a musical monologue about loneliness, power, and doubt. About how loud it can be in a head that feels too much. About the terrifying and liberating act of taking up space. And about what happens when the world unexpectedly stands at your door again.
