♦ 25/03/2014 · 15:32
Inèz Derksen, artistic director of ‘het Laagland’ has asked me to write a new theatre play. I will write it in my native language ‘Limburgs’ which is spoken in the south of Holland. The play will be based on a disaster which happenend near my hometown and which had a profound impression on me as a child: the explosion of a naphtafactory at DSM in 1975. Lots of (young) fathers lost their lives and I often wondered what would be the impact on their childern. I already interviewed relatives of the victims and I am now in the proces of writing.
