A intense and touching monologue about self-acceptance, family, love and forgiveness. 

As a kid Jaouad Alloul wanted to be a girl: he played with his sisters’ dolls and fell in love with boys. Every night he prayed to be cured. But every morning, nothing had changed. 

At 20 years old he closed the door of his childhood behind him and stepped into a new world, away from home, away from God, and on a journey of discovery to find himself. 

De Meisje is an intense and touching monologue about self-acceptance, family, love and forgiveness. 

Jaouad Alloul is a familiar face at KVS, having appeared in SLOW#04: The Belgican Link and his WIPCOOP monologue Zeemeermin. 

“De meisje is een authentieke, belangrijke vertelling over zijn wie je wilt zijn, over strijden tegen normativiteit, over afstand doen van geïnternaliseerde schaamte en schuld.”
De Standaard
