Liesbeth, monologue for a young lady (1992)
 back
“Liesbeth is a restless teenager who loves to chat, in her own or with others, it doesn’t matter. She makes remarkable statements about herself and about others, she asks a lot of questions to herself, to her environment and to the public. She is non-stop balancing between ‘being herself’ and doing as if, between the girl she is and the actress in the girl. Ianka Fleerackers plays Liesbeth in an endearing direct and naïve fashion, recognizable and still extraordinary, roguish en sensitive.”
“In his monologue for the-girl-of-all-times, you see the very original statement of principles of an unrestrained theater maker who, just like Liesbeth, unremittingly wants to let us participate in his questioning. Recommended.” Roger Arteel, Knack 18 november 1992

“As a public you become a partner in such a disarming way of the thoughts of a fifteen year old, that you don’t know: is this the girl talking or is it the actress. The borderline between real and artificial has hardly ever been so thin.” Marian Buijs, De Volkskrant, 15-11-92

“The loose and playful approach created such a hilarious atmosphere and much more: real, uninhibited, from an original perspective and honest work.” JPA, Gazet van Antwerpen, 9-11-92
