FOR REAL

About music theatre performance FOR REAL

As an audience-member, you are a guest in our radio-studio. Over the speakers, you hear the voices of fourteen women. They analyse the intellectual undermining, starting from their personal and professional experiences. How does this influence your sense of self, your trust, relationships, and eventually: the course of life itself?

The audience completes the investigation, when the musicians start interviewing them on the topics at hand. Sarah Jeffery (recorders), George Dumitriu (viola, guitar) and Andrea Voets (harp) support these risky and honest conversations as they unfold with a new technique of simultaneous interviewing and improvising.

Each performance of FOR REAL is recorded and released as a podcast-episode. By doing this, we create a sounding collection of your voices on what it means to matter: to have dignity, to feel understood and to be taken seriously.

* Participation in the podcast recording is on a voluntary basis. Feel free to speak during the live interviews or simply watch and listen.

This performance is spoken in English, with Dutch surtitles.

Aftertalk

In FOR REAL, the artists only interview others. In this aftertalk, we explore the personal drivers behind the creation of the show. What made Andrea Voets embark on this journey, what was the journalistic approach and how did the team finetune the concept and compose the music?
