Sizzling hot and Tears - Evi Hanssen

Let's toast to the transition. Leave the hall with your head held high, slightly lower hanging breasts (for the ladies) and a good dose of self-confidence. Long live the transition! In the performance ‘Bloedheet & tranen’ (‘Boiling hot & tears’), presenter and theater maker Evi Hanssen explores with the necessary dose of humor how the transition, that wonderful phase in a woman's life, influences her body and mind. She talks about her struggles with herself and her environment, her transition from fiery sex bomb to confident graying lady, and the hormonal chaos that turns her life and that of her environment upside down. Just like in her previous performance ‘Sinds ik niet meer drink’ (‘Since I stopped drinking’), Evi engages in a playful and personal way with her audience. She shares her experiences about the changes in the female body and explains in a light, yet scientifically substantiated way, how her hormones occasionally go their own way. With humor, she breaks taboos and celebrates the transition. 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 transition!), this is the ideal opportunity to toast together to this special phase. Evi Hanssen is a versatile and outspoken maker with a fixed value in the Flemish and Dutch media landscape. She 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 acclaimed ‘Sinds ik niet meer drink’. With ‘Bloedheet & tranen’, she builds further on that recognizable signature: honest, bold, and socially relevant. Again, she consciously chooses a subject that is still talked about too little, with the mission to break open this taboo as well.
