Here, I as empress – Molenstraat 103/BUS 5

In a world that Minnie says is becoming “harder and harder”, she chooses her own universe. In Molenstraat 103/BUS 5 she is no longer a gray mouse, but Empress and she swings the scepter. There she determines the rules, there her imagination burns. But what happens when that outside world knocks again? Veerle Baetens portrays an intense and vulnerable Minnie in a musical monologue about power, loneliness, and inner struggle. The live music of Bo Spaenc weaves through her words and forms a second voice in Minnie's universe. This creates a layered performance in which word and music challenge and strengthen each other. Don't expect classic theater, but a sensory experience that chafes and touches. Here, I as empress is a musical monologue about loneliness, power, and doubt. And about what happens when the world unexpectedly stands at your door again. © Lennert Madou
