About

Romana Vrede's solo for Bureau Vergezicht and Theater Rotterdam, which links the climate crisis to the colonial past. It premiered on 31 October and tours Dutch theatres until 16 December.

The story of Een Groter Verhaal

Romana Vrede stands alone on stage to bring together two subjects that rarely meet: the climate crisis and the colonial past. Her starting point is that both belong to one long history of exploiting people, animals, land and air, which colonialism scaled up.

Along the way she looks back at the 1980s and the music of her childhood, and asks how you stay engaged when times are dark. Anecdotes, impressions and direct contact with the audience carry the evening.

Een Groter Verhaal reviews

Each critic's verdict in one line of our own; the full review is on their site.

  • Theaterkrant

    Praises how Vrede switches between humour and seriousness; not every anecdote adds equally to the message, but a clear thread emerges and the ending makes it hard to look away.

  • NRC

    Finds Vrede irresistible and the show one that entertains while still delivering a painful message; the headline calls it the show of the year.
