Meiden & Prinsen
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
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 Netherlands Bach Society. Music, text and performance merge into a production in which the inner world of the characters becomes audible and tangible.
