Leon Giesen, also known as Mondo Leone, said goodbye to mainstream theatre some time ago. He played - until Coronoa struck - increasingly at meetings and seminars, where the audience is more massive and attentive. But now that market has fallen away, and Leon has come up with something new.
Listen to the story of this race storyteller in our podcast in times of quarantine. He now creates a story or piece of music every day and shares it with people who subscribe to it via email.
And then you get great responses like this:
'Dear Leon, I would like to thank you for the quarantine club. It's a nice moment in the day when I read your posts and listen to your tunes. We are actually in quarantine and although there is plenty to do, the days still feel a bit empty and pointless when you can't go out. I just put the rubbish bag in the container, after looking forward to it for an hour. Sneaking out anyway. So it is with the quarantine club. It feels like going outside for a moment anyway. So thanks, thanks, thanks! Charles.'
Apart from the fact that he has secured his income at least for the next 40 days, Leon experiences a lot of positivity through online contact with his listeners. By our virtual fireplace, he talks about survival in times corona. And telling he can. You can subscribe to his daily updates: info@instituutvoorverwondering.nl . Costs a bit, but then you have something, in these pent-up times.
