F*CK LOLITA Het Zuidelijk Toneel / Silke van Kamp
How does a young woman discover her sexuality? And who is allowed to tell that story? Director Silke van Kamp has a fascination with Nabokov's 1955 scandal novel Lolita, in which a young woman is deprived of her journey of discovery into sexual fantasies and longing.
For decades, Lolita has been portrayed as a romanticised object of desire, and countless versions of her story have appeared. After 70 years, Silke turns Nabokovs' literary classic radically inside out and, in F*CK LOLITA, reshapes the story from a female perspective. Lolita steps out of the cage of being an object of desire and reclaims her story and body. Not as a victim of abuse, but as someone who fights her way free from the grip of the male perspective.
With text by Annet Bremen (nominated for the Toneelschrijfprijs 2023), F*CK LOLITA creates a whimsical, sensible, and complex duet between Lolita and Humbert Humbert. Lolita reclaims her work of art: about herself, as herself.
