In SHE actress/singer Laurence Roothooft puts herself in the shoes of women who have (had) a profound effect on her. Together with director Suze Milius she pushes her innate transformative urge to the limit.
Laurence basically wonders if she is leading her life in the right persona.
How many roles can you play in life?
What if you played individuals you greatly admire?
Would that be a way of ‘being’ them?
Laurence, as the alter ego of Cardi B, Angela Merkel, Mum Jacqueline, Oprah, Cindy Sherman, her great-great-grandmother, or Grace Jones?
SHE isn’t your run-of-the-mill theatre monologue.
SHE is whirling, musical and dressed whichever way her fancy takes her.
SHE is unforgettable and dazzling.
SHE is moving and probably slightly OTT.

WITH THE SUPPORT OF the Tax Shelter measurement of the Belgian federal government.
“ ‘Tell me who you want me to be, I can be anything.’ At its best, ‘SHE’ captures in a handful of words what
it means to be a woman, the desire for empowerment and the right to speak, but also the deep-seated self-doubt.”
DE STANDAARD, C. De Somviele
“With very minute interventions, Laurence Roothooft manages to bring the other women to life. It is this multiplicity of voices and characters that prevails. At speed, they become one voice, which through different timbres manages to express shared doubts and an unanswered desire to be really heard.”
PZAZZ, L. Ogiers
