Google wrote: “We want Google to be the third of your brain.” But fifty-one percent would be even better, wouldn’t it? It is only a matter of time: we are already sharing our most intimate moments online and growing more and more dependent on our digital lives. The woman in The Gentle Woman finds herself confronted with questions about who she is and what it means to be human.

Actresses Lineke Rijxman [5.240 Google hits] and Rosa van Leeuwen [1.820 hits] are performing in a play by guest director Davy Pieters [3.010 hits], who became a surprise hit at Boulevard 2014 with The Truth about Kate, a solo about behaving precisely as we present ourselves on the internet.

 

Pay attention! This performance has strobe effects.
