Terwijl het liefde was Synopsis

Artistic director of the National Theater Eric de Vroedt writes and directs a performance about his own mother Winnie, who passed away in 2020. This piece, titled The Century of My Mother, is a family story about the migration from the Dutch East Indies to the Netherlands. It is De Vroedt's way of examining the relationship with his mother and not having to say goodbye to her yet: 'I can let her live on stage, but when the curtain falls, when the play is completely finished, then she is really dead'.

Terwijl het liefde was (2021) is a documentary film directed by Ditteke Mensink, released on August 11, 2021 with a runtime of 1h. It stars Eric de Vroedt, Esther Scheldwacht, Bram Koopmans and Hein van der Heijden.
