You are here, you are gone
A piece of great feelings of small people.
Stories in songs, sung by five singers-actors.
Telling stories of farewell, of longing and languishing,
of tears and laughter.
Stories for all singing enthusiasts, or those who want to become one.
The woman with the red hat lost her child. Except for Nanne, all of them know. Innocently, the girl goes to the sad woman - there is a conversation, at the end of which Nanne understands how beautiful it is to live and how precious every day can be.
Luise does not know if she misses her father. He has always shouted so loud, but somehow he is missing.
And Marte wants Arjan to finally disappear with his angelic voice and no longer steal the show. Three stories about how much, but also how little we can miss someone.
Staging as a musical theater
The stories of Bart Moeyaert are full of music. The woman with the red hat sings sad songs because she can express her pain with it. When she meets Nanne, she tells the girl that after the sad songs, people really need happy songs to get back to life.
Luise from the second story meets Kriek, who so lusts for her boyfriend that her only loving members help her, and Arjan with the voice of angels has a rare talent, which puts the dance arts of Marte far into the shade.
The music of Simon Wills uses many styles to sum up the emotions: madrigal and folk song, great opera and swing in major and minor, as well as sounds of creep and amazement.
