ALOISE

A theatrical performance about flights into reality and flights into fantasy, based on the life of Swiss artist Aloïse Corbaz, who worked as a governess near Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1911. She fell in love with the emperor and lost herself so much in this unrequited love that she lost her grip on reality. In 1918 she was admitted to a mental institution, where she began to paint and achieved national fame.

"Don't you ever want to leave?"
"I left once before."
"Didn't that bring you anything?"

Play: Janneke Overmeer, Iris Stam, Mariska Stam
