Sartre zegt sorry
Laura van Dolron describes her performances as stand-up philosophy. ‘Stand-up means that it's funny, and philosophy that it’s smart.’ Filled with amazement, she examines topics that are close to her heart. Penetrating questions and unconventional answers tumble over each other. Hard thinking and hard-boiled humour go hand in hand here.
Some girls fall for the wrong men, Laura van Dolron falls for the wrong philosophers. Sartre zegt sorry is an historic meeting between Laura and Jean-Paul (1905-1980). Sartre rises from his grave not to speak to her sternly with big words like ‘freedom’ and ‘responsibility’, but to offer an apology. What follows is a refreshing brainwash and a clumsy but sincere attempt at engagement. Sartre zegt sorry was selected for the Dutch Theatre Festival and was the opening performance at the 2011 Flanders Theatre Festival.
