Actress Tjitske Reidinga wanted to make something sweet, something funny, something magical. That's why she has written a performance to which she too would like to go. And luckily, she is going… because if there’s something you need for your own One Woman Show, it's you. But what is that – you? How do you see yourself? Why is that sometimes so different from how others see you? These and many other questions will be asked in Tjitske's poetic performance full of dry, comical situations, uncomfortable thoughts and her favorite imaginative music.

‘Everything good?' We ask this to each other in the café. In such a way that 'YES' can be the only answer.

Do they know each other or not, and what are they running from? The outside world, another person or themselves? The dark cellar, where they feel safe, forces the past upon them and forces them to dissect each other to the bone.

But can you save someone else from the darkness or only yourself? An intimate, poetic and physical duet of two people locked in a dark space.

• With: Abke Haring and Jacob Derwig. Director: Floor Houwink ten Cate.

What do you do if your partner leaves you for someone else after 26 years of marriage? It is happening to Herman.
