Do you miss me?

October 1

Visual musical theatre for everyone aged 8 and up

How do you do that, miss?

How do you miss your sibling?

Can you find solace in building houses?

Is there sadness behind a picture of a window?

Can you get better at missing someone?

Or even the best?

 

Are you missing someone?

 

Theatre-maker Lies Ferny and harpist Jutta Troch draw inspiration from their own experiences of loss. Using an inherited photo archive from Jutta's sister, they search for solace in image and music.

 

Miss You Me? is an expressive musical theatre performance for everyone aged 8 and above. Mis je Mij? is about a brother and a sister, about the emptiness they leave behind when you lose them and how at times this emptiness overwhelms everything. It is about getting lost in the many twists and turns of loss, the attempts to get closer together again, and finding comfort in everyday things.

Theatre-maker Lies Ferny and harpist Jutta Troch draw inspiration from their own experience. From Jutta's sister's inherited photo archive, they chose a number of images as the starting point for this performance. By manipulating and projecting the photos in combination with words and live music, Mis je Me? shows how we as humans root and wring to deal with loss and look for ways to make loss visible, audible and consolable.
