Pier21 Evening - A tragicomedy about a completed life

We all want the most beautiful end of life for our parents. We are prepared to do so, but do we succeed? The Frisian theater company Pier21 has created a special performance about the dilemmas surrounding informal care and the end of life.

Anneke has found a new love in her life in Theo. Together they try to give Anneke's father and mother a dignified last phase of life. But Daniel and Wimmy value their autonomy and their lifelong bond: they choose to voluntarily end their completed lives together.

"Evening" is a tragicomedy about four people full of love and interconnectedness, who see their good intentions smothered in the vagaries of life. A heartwarming performance about informal care and completed life played by two born actors full of zest for life: Joke Tjalsma and Paul R. Kooij. With texts by Bouke Oldenhof and directed by Jos Thie.

After a highly successful tour in 2019 with 12,000 visitors along theaters, village halls and health care institutions, 'Evening' will return in 2025.
