Toneelmakerij tipt The UnDutchables (12+)

TIP: The UnDutchables, an ironic tragic comedy (12+).
De Toneelmakerij supports this project because we consider Yasha a remarkable creator.

United Ukrainian Theater presents the ironic tragic comedy The UnDutchables or Women on the verge of a nervous breakdow. The UnDutchables tells the story of three modern Ukrainian women – Annie, Diana and Maria, teacher, psychotherapist and playwright, who, due to various life circumstances, moved to the Netherlands.

Here they are trying to build a new life and integrate into Dutch culture and society. Like many other expats, they are facing many challenges; from the language barrier to changing careers at the age of 40. Relationships with Dutch men, unusual food, bureaucracy and rainy weather all stand in the way of happiness. To all of the above are added the usual problems of life: layoffs, children, adultery, stupid bosses – all this creates huge chaos in the lives of our heroines. But instead of despondency and despair, these ladies fight life circumstances in creative and funny ways, which allows viewers to look at everything with laughter. Having gone through adaptation in a new country, you find not only a new home but also a new self.

The performance is based on an adapted text from the playwright’s play Chaos by Mika Christian Mullila, as well as the experience of immigration and adaptation in a new country of the director and actresses of this project.
