Sofie Lemaire - Sofie doesn't make it up

A theater special about the craziest figures in our history. In this theater special, Sofie Lemaire dives deep into the folds of time to pry loose some forgotten, stuck, silly figures from the margins and introduce them to you. The result is a beautiful parade of strange ancestors, who each shine in their own way in being a little bit silly. Because: nothing is as pure and sincere as only half succeeding at something. From the pudding porridge of Willem de Veroveraar, to the life-saving left of Peter Tsjaikovski, to the Massief Monsterverbond van Misnoegde Romeinse Madammen… Sofie presents her touching study of human folly. Using her little club of less-than-impressive figures, she shows how moving and invigorating a look at the past can be. Sofie Lemaire is a radio and podcast maker, known from De Wereld van Sofie (Radio 1) and Snelle Geschiedenis (VRT MAX), with a special fascination for forgotten stories from our past. www.sofielemaire.be
