If Everything Goes Well

Als Alles Goed Gaat is a narrative - or as Fleur Pierets sometimes calls it herself: a presentation - that moves like a stream. You step into it and before you know it, time flies. What remains is clarity and something that continues to insist softly. Ten years ago, Fleur Pierets decided to marry her wife Julian in all countries where two women were allowed to do so. They sold everything they had, jumped without a safety net, and the world watched. After the fourth yes, in Paris, it went quiet. Jul Diepenbeek has sold 6 tickets and wants to cancel... (that's not the first time in Diepenbeek, really a low point in the cultural sector, that Limburg village)... I would normally ask for half your fee as compensation.. okay for you? Julian died. But the story didn't stop. It shifted. “Julian” became a book, a film. It grew further, against the direction. Als Alles Goed Gaat is a swirling, personal narrative about a life that unexpectedly tilted and yet continued to move. About leaving head over heels and saying yes wholeheartedly. About saying goodbye when it's not yet possible. About starting over with two suitcases and 125 euros in the account. About the stubborn choice not to fall silent. With warmth, self-deprecation, and a sharp eye, Fleur switches between small, accurate anecdotes and larger questions that linger. About love as hope and goal. About loss without heaviness. About visibility, legacy, and the thin line between disappearing and staying. It is a universal story that does not impose itself, but opens up. Recognizable for anyone who has ever loved or wondered what really counts. The performance moves on the cutting edge of a lecture and a story. One voice, visual material, and an audience that slowly moves along. What emerges is not a spectacle, but intensity. Not an answer, but direction. An evening that resonates without weighing. “What an incredibly moving and encouraging performance.” — Deborah Seymus (De Morgen)
