More info & tickets

Are you a man or a woman? I was born in the surf. Between two stools.

In the personal performance WOULD YOU LOVE ME, artist Leendert Vooijce is not looking for an answer. Here, everything will be questioned. At the intersection of poetry, theater, and visual arts, Leendert creates space for space. In Klein Bellevue, Leendert performs a custom-made version of the show.

As a child, Leendert crawled under the table wearing grandma's heels and whispered, 'Mom, would you love me if I were a girl?' There was silence.

At the same time, the freedom arose to develop outside of binary structures. How do we cherish a place in our society for someone who wants to create themselves?

Move along between masculinity and femininity and explore the meaning of identity and identification in our world. Because everyone has thoughts, ideas, or fantasies that sometimes fall outside the binary norm. Leendert seeks the fundamental right to exist as a complete human being.

Theater collective Female Economy, led by Adelheid Roosen, proudly presents Leendert's first solo performance, WOULD YOU LOVE ME. A poetic narrative framed by a musical composition. The performance unfolds as a proposal for introspection and connection.

This event features a low-stimulus reception.

Leendert Vooijce shows how difficult it is when there are no words for your celestial being.

"A moving and sensory journey along the edges of identity." – Theaterkrant

About the Makers

Leendert Vooijce is a young artist associated with the theater collective Female Economy, led by Adelheid Roosen. With a powerful fusion of language, visual art, and performativity, they dissect the dramaturgy of daily routine: why do we act as we do, and what deeper meaning does that carry? Always speaking from a place of intimacy, Leendert approaches the vulnerability of things with sharp attention and openness.

Mokhallad Rasem (final direction) is an actor and director, born and trained in Baghdad. The war in Iraq changed the course of his life, after which he moved to Belgium in 2005 to live and work. Since 2013, he has been associated with Toneelhuis, the city theater of Antwerp. Projects like Body Revolution and Soul Seekers show his special sensitivity to what displacement does to a person: poignant, universal, and stubbornly hopeful.
