Echte vrouwen joggen in regenpak (with audiodescription)

Behind the steamed up windows of a garden greenhouse, four men in tailored suits are doing an a capella performance of a Schubert song: “Wie schön bist du”. A woman – a real one, in high heels, red suit and a pearl necklace – is trying desperately to rid herself of her very loud crop.

Echte vrouwen joggen in regenpak [A real woman would jog in rainproof gear] is a hilarious exploration of shifting four-part harmonies and the number of men that can fit inside a compost bin. But first and foremost this imaginative music theatre show is a statement about the thing any real woman wants: some time to herself.

Seventeen years ago Jetse Batelaan [1978] made this show with Elien van den Hoek. The two share a love of sophisticated simplicity and surreal slapstick. Boulevard regards Echte vrouwen joggen in regenpak as part of the canon of Dutch theatre. During the festival this remake will be performed at the Josephkwartier, with all the windows flung wide open – for good reasons. N.B. Are you allergic to endive? Contact your GP.
