Radicale Gezelligheid - De Berg, De Hoop, De Zooi

Lisanne and Lotte Lola both have a chronic illness: one has invisible pain, the other a skin disease. Together they look for a broader definition of the word healing. Apart from hospitals, treatments and medications. They climb a snowy mountain with Iceman Wim Hof - in bikinis. But they also interview safely at home in the Netherlands and with clothes on

other people with a chronic illness. What does healing mean when you know you will never get better?

De Berg, De Hoop, De Zooi is a travelogue, made tangible by electronic music and snow machines. Marnix Vinkenborg provides the music and there is room for the experiences of you as an audience. Lisanne and Lotte Lola work with you to create a softer world that is easier to bear for everyone, sick or not.
