ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
What goes through your mind when you find out you are pregnant? What actually happens the day at the abortion clinic? How do you describe what grows inside you? Mystha Mandersloot is a theatre maker and educator, graduated from the Utrecht School of the Arts. Her work deals with social issues based on personal stories. Mystha chose to have an abortion two years ago and is experiencing the impact a taboo can have on her life. She tries to change that, through this performance; by sharing personal stories in an open, honest, but also humorous way.
