Past event

In the week that Micha Wertheim premieres his new show Nergens Anders at Frascati, he also presents a specially curated program. A true festival with a selection of performances and activities that, according to him, absolutely deserve your attention. Also included in the program is this performance by House of Femmes, which is only accessible to women.

Micha about Ey Meisje!:

“Naturally, you can’t have a festival without up-and-coming talent.

I know Hanina Ajarai because she told some of the most beautiful stories ever told on stage at Echt Gebeurd (True Stories, a monthly storytelling afternoon and weekly podcast). She’s done a lot already, but as a theatre-maker she’s still pretty new.

My interest was aroused when she asked me to come to the try-out in Rotterdam for a production she was making with Fahima Ettaher.

During Ey Meisje! Hanina tells a wonderful story that keeps being interrupted by sketches in which Fahima Ettaher – who in her day job is a doctor – undergoes transformations as easily as Tineke Schouten.

When I was there, they had a guest performer. The production has now had its première and they want to perform it for an all-female audience.

Shame for us men, but after watching this documentary, I understood what the motivation behind this could be.

So I won’t be at the show, but if you do go, you’re sure to come out in a better mood.”

Entry only for women.
