Die Duisend En Eerste Nag
1001 nights, 1001 wonders, 1001 dangers. When Herman Swart's twin sister Herma dies unexpectedly, part of him falls away. He became increasingly lonely and withdrew into a world of old films. He sees her in his own mirror image and hears her at unlivable times. An additional traumatic experience finally fragments his world and Herman falls into a deep coma. He finds himself inside an adventure, a nightmare, a world in which dream, fantasy, film, sequels, music and the gothic intertwine. In this strange, magical realism, he moves between places, meets several characters and is lured away by the princess, a girl very reminiscent of Herma. Francois Bloemhof has provided many litres of firsts locally and worldwide, but with this unique read-listen-and-see experience he surpasses himself. The thousand and first night has no patience with old, safe story boundaries.
