Vlamousse - Het Goede Voorbeeld

According to the Theaterkrant, this original duo gave a confident middle finger to their doubts about motherhood in their previous show. This time, Vlamousse takes the stage as, yes indeed: brand-new mothers.

One, Brigitte van Bakel, had a child with her husband exactly as the picture dictated, and the other, Maya van As, pioneered and inseminated her way to a rainbow family as a queer person. Two totally different stories with one common denominator: the child itself is fantastic, but the whole mess surrounding it is a downright disillusionment.

It is time for a new example. A good example. So that no one enters parenthood so poorly prepared again. Ruthlessly honest and with great hilarity, Vlamousse takes a jab at the reality of young mothers: the childbirth class that said your body is made for giving birth, the idea that breastfeeding is a painless gift from nature, and the conviction that you can only be a real mother if you have given birth yourself.

Het goede voorbeeld is an imaginative, musical, and razor-sharp show for new mothers, pregnant mothers, former mothers, never-before-mothers, older mothers, queer mothers, non-biological mothers, and fathers. In short, all kinds of parents. And childless people who thrive on schadenfreude.
