Moeder van Europa Manoushka Zeegelaar Breeveld, Selin Akkulak, Shahine El-Hamus en Michiel Blankwaardt - Orkater
A top cast dives deep into European history to rewrite it. With a mix of classical strings, explosive percussion and electronic sounds, the characters sing themselves free from time and place. Let the rest eat cake now.
Winter is coming. On the eve of the French Revolution, there is unrest in Europe; between countries, between elite and people, but also between generations.
Empress Maria Theresa clings to her power and puts pressure on her daughter Marie Antoinette: she must have children to secure the dynasty. Meanwhile, the young musician Chevalier becomes known at the French court, but his innovative ideas are not understood. At the court of Maria Theresa, the freemason Angelo Soliman works his way up, but is uncertain about his position. Maria Theresa and the characters in her life meet at a key point in time, with only one goal: to make a great mark on European history.
Mother of Europe is a story about the changing nature of power. About the struggle to be important, to have influence and to make all voices in history heard.
