One word:\u00a0<strong>heartbreak<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their performance\u00a0<em>The Virginie Loveling Heartbreak Show<\/em>, the hearts of Mees van Rijswijk, Johannes Lievens, and Marieke Ornelis are shattered\u2014by bad boys, mommy issues, the nation state, zombies, and memories that stubbornly refuse to fade. In a mix of stories, songs, and poetry, the makers\u2014who together form the collective\u00a0<em>Drie Dagen Fris<\/em>\u2014dive into literary history and, at the same time, into their own funny, dark, and ultra-secret dating pasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her 1911 novel\u00a0<em>Een Revolver Schot<\/em>, Virginie Loveling (1836\u20131923) tells the story of two sisters caught in a twisted love triangle with the same man\u2014whom they eventually murder. Today, her tale of power struggles, family ties, and gendered violence feels more relevant than ever.\u00a0<em>The Virginie Loveling Heartbreak Show<\/em>\u00a0is an attempt to bring Loveling\u2019s sensitive, groundbreaking work into the present through a fresh and fearless lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because aren\u2019t we still secretly exchanging sexy messages?
