NELE GOOSSENS (FULL!)

A cabaret performance by Nele Goossens. What happens when love not only conquers your heart, but also your agenda, your house, your children, and your hobbies? In ‘BONUSMAMA’ Nele Goossens takes you into the life of a blended family: an existence full of unexpected turns, new rituals, and adventures that you had never planned. Like kitesurfing on a deserted beach, or a long-distance trip to a place you had never heard of, but where you are now making memories together. With her typical humor, warmth, and sharp observations, Nele tells about BONUS children, BONUS rules, and above all: BONUS baggage. About learning to love what first seemed strange to you. About braving headwinds together – literally and figuratively. About how love takes you, sometimes with wind force 6, to a life that you could never have imagined, but that fits wonderfully. ‘BONUSMAMA’ is a recognizable, funny, and moving performance about blended families, new hobbies, long-distance trips, and the art of living together.
