Liefhebben II

Laura van Dolron overheard a conversation between three women attending a writing workshop at a monastery. One of them was doing most of the talking, words coming easily to her. She mentioned she was going to lead a dance workshop for people who had lost a child. It was new information and you could tell by the silence that followed. Another woman interrupted her and spoke about the six-year-old girl she had lost. Again, silence fell. No one asked for the girl's name or her favourite cuddly toy. Why did no one give this mother the chance to bring her child back to life, just for a moment, in words?

This show is for her, and for everyone who knows what love or loss feels like. Laura herself is a mother who once lost a little child.

"I made Liefhebben to comfort myself. For ten years I have performed it once a year as a monument to love and to the people we miss."

It was time for a sequel, inspired by the many examples of love she discovered along the way. Everywhere she went, she met people with tears longing to fall. Liefhebben II is a collage of love stories, a place to rest where we live instead of perform and where we laugh through our tears. That is always love! Come and see it and drop a floor from your head to your heart.
