With Closed Eyes, Alida Dors unleashes a revolution

I used the word 'revolutionary' when a camera crew from Theatre Rotterdam asked me what I thought of Closed Eyes. I don't know if my otherwise extraordinarily enthusiastic response will make it to the final edit, but a day later, that feeling is not gone. What Alida Dors, artistic director of Theatre Rotterdam, has shown is a revolution in the world of...

Een vraaggesprek. “Het theater van Erik Whien draait om de mens. Om het hoofd en alles wat daarin gebeurt. Elk mens heeft gedachten, in de geest… 

What I learned from Alida Dors and the Dutch Playwriting Prize
