Theater. Beginn um 20.00 Uhr im tak – Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg (im Aufbau Haus und 5 Minuten vom CLB entfernt).

In De Eurocommissaris, Joan Nederlof (Mugmetdegoudentand) takes the audience on a humorous journey through the thoughts and tribulations of the fictional European commissioner, Charlotte Hajenius. Is the dream of a democratic, united Europe even possible if Member States persistently put their own agenda first?

„A few years ago, I realised I knew very little about the European Union. That struck me as strange considering the importance and power of Brussels. So I did some research and made a little show about the EU and a fictional Dutch European Commissioner. But I grasped that my monologue arose entirely from my Dutch point of view. Is a democratic Europe even possible, if, subconsciously, we remain so rabidly nationalistic?“ Joan Nederlof, Founder of the Dutch theatre group mugmetdegoudentand

At the occasion of the European Democracy Lab’s F(EU)TURE FESTIVAL from 1^st to 16^th March 2019, De Eurocommissaris will be performed outside of the Netherlands for the first time.
