Everyday loss - The Slow Accumulation of Ordinary Losses

Lineke Rijxman and Willem de Wolf confront each other and the audience with regret, loss and longing. Openly they discuss the feeling that your life may not have turned out as you had hoped. Moods and emotions that you can only describe to others in vague terms, yet are immediately recognized: inexplicable attacks of melancholy, slumbering cravings. The elusive loss becomes more commonplace. Your flexibility diminishes, as does your innocence, your tenacity, your looks. You begin to accept the loss, because it is so true, so irreversible and merciless - and yet there remains a burning desire for more. For something else.

Lineke Rijxman and Willem de Wolf are among that rarer group of people who have been on the stage for more than 40 years. They have made four performances together in recent years: Quality Time (2006), Hannah & Martin (2009), Ability (2013) and Sex(e)(n) (2021). In Everyday Loss - The Slow Accumulation of Ordinary Losses, they look back with humor and regret, to recklessly and firmly highlight that entire arsenal of absurd loss and disappointment.
