As a theatre maker I came up
with a plan for a journey.
A journey of a little girl on a
tractor. A journey to the end of
the world, and back. But what
is the end of the world?
If I was a child, I would say: the South Pole! As an adult
I said: the worst war-country
I can imagine. Both voices,
The one of the child and the one
of the adult, said: We want to go!
Then I thought: All right,
we'll just dó that.

Doing.
Many people talk about it,
but few actually do.

Fear holds people back,
Held-back people have regrets.
Fear and regret are damaging
to people's lives, are damaging
this world. Governed by fear
and regret, there's no room for
happiness.
Southpole challenges those fears.
It tries to encourage.
Southpole is about the will to face
the world with an open-minded
attitude. The will to face world's
beauty.
Southpole does not want to be
afraid. Southpole asks:
What is it you fear?
What is it that makes you happy?
What gives you courage?

As a child I mount a tractor
and head for the South Pole.
As an adult I'll make sure I
make it home safely.

This weeks dream

Another beautiful dream on its way to the South Pole!

my play

For this journey I made a play. As a tool for communication with the girl on the tractor and as a gift for the people I met on my way. In these plays I collected dreams, dreams from the people in countries I visited. This girl is going to the South Pole, to built a snowman with all the dreams of the world in his belly.
