\#HEROINE)
Marjolein Freeling

Who actually wears the pants on the Olympos? Is it supreme god Zeus or his ega, Hera? Or is it Pallas Athene, the wisest of them all? And what are they doing there on that mountain with all those heroes, who try their hardest to prove their manhood? And women to play chess… Power and prestige, that's what it's all about. In short, nothing has changed since then. Or is it?

#HERO(IN) is an energetic storytelling performance with the theme of heroes and Greek myths and sagas. These fantastic stories continue to appeal to us and, above all, they remain an inexhaustible source for giving meaning to the dynamics in our society. Together with three young, inspiring performers, we relentlessly bring these Greek heroic stories to the present. How timeless are these stories? Should we also dare to question the dynamics of these stories? And how do they link these stories to their own perception of gender and identity? The performance of #HERO(IN) is ideal for young and old.
