The Miraculous Journey of Fi is a comedic and poignant exploration of being stuck, surrender, and the quest to reinvent oneself. The performance aims to encourage anyone who is hesitant to embark on something new and unfamiliar but hasn’t quite managed to do so yet.
Fi is stuck at home. She valiantly tries to juggle everything: caring for Jan, staying fit and healthy, waiting on hold on the phone, groceries. She grumbles about everything and everyone in the meantime. When suddenly the window opens, a miraculous journey begins for her. A wondrous musical creature leads her from one unexpected situation to another. When she loses her bag to top it all off, the trouble really begins. Fi must let go of all her routines and be brutally honest to the core. The choice is hers: will she listen? It’s now or never.

A solo on dealing with dementia from different perspectives: the mother, the daughter, the caretaker and the researcher.
* I have enjoooooooyed your performance and the meeting tremendously!
* Beautiful performance. Touching and with respect for all perspectives.
* The performance: very well done. To me the biggest value was in including the family care and the professional care in 1 performance. Family, cliënt and professional should be a triangle that supports each other, but that is not always the case. This performance can, with the exchange afterwards, evoke a lot and give a lot.
*Seems a good way to me to give a deepening experience, next to the theoretical knowledge about the illness

With a lot of pleasure we create tailor made performances for special occasions. A play, a theatrical miniature and/or a through line of a symposium, stepping stones throughout the day, a fitting goodbye or closure: a 'dramatic' contributions that gives your audience a change to experience and 'move along' with the content or theme you would like to put in the spotlights.
In the solo performance ‘Murder, Madness and Lady Macbeth’ we meet an actrice who’s life is taken over by the part that she is playing — the unpopular Lady M — when she falls in love during the rehearsal process. When the reality and the world of “Macbeth” slowly clash, the actresses story starts to look more and more like Lady M’s.
Scenes from Macbeth and the actresses’ daily reality take turns in a performance in which madness and denial are taken over by humor and courage.
Ginger is almost ready preparing her Masterpiece; the World Peace Conference. Tomorrow her dream will come true: all over the world peace demonstrations will take place. And as outer peace is getting nearer, her inner peace is drifting further and further away. Confronted with a fight of life and death, thank God for that, pops up a wise fool, an odd lady!
A performance in which myth and daily reality meet, and humour and hard facts take parts, will be fought for courage and vulnerability, because ‘Sometimes we get what we want, but is what we want, what we really need!’.
THE MYTH AND DAILY REALITY
The myth of the Indian Goddess Durga and the demon Mahisha is used in RISKY BUSINESS as a thread for the conflict within the main character Ginger. Fascinated by the images and the wisdom of myths ànd the meaning they might have in our daily reality, we looked for a form in which many of us can recognise ourselves. The questions ‘How far can one go?’ and ’What is the value of outer peace if there is no inner peace?’ have been motives to create Risky Business.
The demon Mahisha saves the world and humanity again and again through his incredible deeds. Deep within him lives a secret wish: to become immortal. One day, after astonishing the world again with one of his masterful acts of self-sacrifice and selflessness, he turns to the Gods and expresses his wish. The answer is clear: 'Only the Gods can be immortal'. But to reward his efforts, the Gods promise Mahisha that he cannot be defeated by male strength. Over time, however, Mahisha's selfishness and abuse of power become intolerable. He begins to rule the world in a way that pleases only himself. The Gods are desperate and there is nothing they can do, because they are all male Gods! In the deepest secrecy they turn to the Goddess of wisdom, Devi, and ask her to help them.
You can experience whether and how the Goddess Devi can help them in this theatrical story of approximately 55 minutes in which storytelling and acting go hand in hand and selfishness is defeated by beauty.
