Take a look in advance

Sometimes words fail us when we’re grieving the loss of someone, but there are rituals through which we share our sorrow, seek comfort, and find solace. In the theatrical talk show “Lampje erop,” ordinary people share special and personal stories about those they’ve lost and the rituals they’ve developed. Interviews are interspersed with music, poetry, and theatre. An intimate gathering and a lively evening exploring the power of rituals amid the chaos that grief can bring. Comforting, inspiring, and unforgettable.

This edition of “Lampje erop, over dood gesproken” is produced by theatre artists Wendelien Wouters and Wendy Tollenaar, commissioned by Rouwen & Vieren Amersfoort.

For the past five years, Rouwen & Vieren Amersfoort has literally created a space for mourning in the heart of the city during the dark days leading up to Christmas. We’re celebrating this milestone with an unforgettable evening of theatre: “Lampje erop, over dood gesproken.”
