Hold On

Saying goodbye. Turning your back on home, family and friends. Things are not safe, so you have to flee. Will the generations to come regard your story as their history? Three young Dutch women whose ancestors came here from different corners of the world, are getting their hands on Tom Waits’ goodbye-music, interweaving the songs with their family histories. Hold On is a piece of music theatre that deals with women, saying goodbye, and loss – here and beyond the horizon.

This performance plays at different moments starting from 15.00u. The playing times are communicated at the entrance of the tent, where tickets can also be purchased for the performances of the same day.
