In Meiden & Prinsen, stories from De Meisjes by Annet Schaap are brought to life in a large-scale theatre production by Het Filiaal theatermakers. The adaptation by Don Duyns brings together a world of familiar fairy tale figures and contemporary desires.

Girls, princes, animals and parents collide in stories where nothing unfolds as smoothly as in fairy tales. Behind the fantasy lies a reality in which expectations, power and desire are constantly shifting.

Fairy tales that crack under reality

Date: March 29, 2027 - March 30, 2027
Duration: 70 min, no interval
Genre: Children and family
Language: Dutch
Location: Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, Rabozaal

Meiden & Prinsen shows what happens when you grow up in a world where stories do not reassure, but raise questions. The characters are confronted with choices, inequality and the pressure of other people’s expectations.

The performance connects the rich storytelling world of Annet Schaap with live music by Gábor Tarján and the Dutch Bach Society. Music, text and performance merge into a production in which the inner world of the characters becomes audible and tangible.
