Fourteen years ago, stand-up philosopher Laura van Dolron created *Liefhebben* (both the show and the book) to comfort herself. Two daughters, a divorce, a burnout, an ADHD diagnosis, perimenopause, a new world order, a collective digital addiction, and a few other disasters—big and small—later, she’s creating the sequel, *Liefhebben II*. Laura has grown up, and so has her perspective on love.

Zoom in

For *Liefhebben II*, Laura has gathered a wealth of new, not-too-sappy, moving, and funny love stories—from her heart, her surroundings, and world history. Love and grief dance a duet in this sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking performance.

Let your mind settle from your head down to your heart.
Come watch and listen, and Laura will watch and listen right back.
Come laugh through your tears.
Because that’s always love!

This performance is suitable for wounded inner children, for neurodiverse individuals, for those with chaotic attachments, for toxic people-pleasers, for “Sunday children” who cycle cheerfully through life, and everyone in between. Because love transcends everything!

About Laura van Dolron
Laura van Dolron created her own genre, “stand-up philosophy.” Together with the audience, she searches for what is beautiful and what could be improved. She uses the theater as a place to be genuine because there is already enough pretense in “real” life. Laura offers comfort and challenges her audience. She wants to make her audience laugh and reflect. She shows that vulnerability is a strength that is needed in this world.
