The courage to leave

Theater

The People's Opera House

musical theatre

……and it's this song
sung loud or ugly
that comforts how it went

from 'la Violeta'

With their own translations of old and new Argentine tango songs and their own compositions, Kees Scholten, Margreet Markerink (piano) and Emmy Storms (violin) take you to a world of harbor bars, tenements, brothels and the souls of people who have the courage to to leave. Feel the nostalgia for that which is left behind. Fiery and passionate, but also brought with humor. Stories of illusions, adventure, love, failures and frustration.
