Ruut Weissman

Registration of the play that opened the Holland Festival in 1980, written by Wim T. Schippers. Mr and Mrs Schaambergen receive two free tickets to a piece of modern art.

Four-part musical about the life of Dutch actress Fien de la Mar, chronicling her earliest days on stage with her father, her glory days as a stage and movie star and the building her own theatre, up until the tragic end of her life.

At the request of Dutch documentary filmmaker Judith de Leeuw, the Dutch prominent theatre director Ruut Weissman is directing a solo performance about the power relationship between a teacher and a student, between an actress and a director. Both Ruut Weissman and actress Harriët Stroet have personal experiences with this theme. The documentary shows how the mutual relationships between director, documentary filmmaker and actress are brought into sharp focus during rehearsals and how the events on and off stage are always intertwined.
