When Emile is diagnosed with young Alzheimer's, he decides to leave his safe but suffocating environment behind. On impulse, he buys a camper van and posts a call for a travel companion. The mysterious Joanne responds. Together they embark on an unexpected road trip that confronts them with memories, desires and the question of how to live on when the future is so uncertain.
The result is a moving theater performance in which story and music reinforce each other. All the blue of the sky touches on themes everyone recognizes: loss, hope, starting over and the courage to face yourself. A comforting experience for anyone who has ever lost someone, perhaps even themselves.
Buddy Vedder and Shelley Bos perform the lead roles in this intimate, lived-in musical play, directed by Daan Wijnands, with lyrics by Max Roijé and music by Mark Kuypers.
From every theater ticket sold, 1 euro goes to Alzheimer Nederland, to promote research into Alzheimer's disease.

Producer Neos Theater: After several years of working for a wide variety of companies, Buddy Vedder felt the time was right to tell his own stories. Performances that stick, that are not only entertaining, but also make the audience think. Inspired by his Greek roots and the ambition to tell new stories, Neos Theater was born.
