Een filmische voorstelling over de kracht van rolmodellen, nieuwe helden en andere mogelijkheden.

Fragment uit een interview met Emma Watson over ‘Beauty and the Beast’
Interviewer: ‘How young were you, when you were first told that you looked like Belle? I mean, everyone thinks you look like her, but I’m curious how young were you when people started telling you this?’
Emma: ‘That’s so interesting, I don’t think, I didn’t think, I don’t think anyone ever told me that.’
Interviewer: ‘What do you have in common with the character?’ 
Emma: ‘I get really excited about libraries, and books.’ 
Interviewer: ‘Yeah we know that.’

Emma Watson (Parijs, 1990) is een Britse actrice, activiste, feministe en (rol)model. In Emma Watson – The Play zet Caro Derkx haar zoektocht naar identiteit voort. In een poging de ander te ontmoeten gaat Derkx, samen met actrice Nora El Koussour, in dialoog met Emma Watson. Een filmische voorstelling over de kracht van rolmodellen, nieuwe helden en andere mogelijkheden. Stel dat verandering begint doordat we anders durven te denken. Stel we zouden het lef hebben die wereld te vormen naar onze idealen. Stel dat idealisme begint in het theater. Dan is dit die zeldzame kans om te ontsnappen aan alles wat we zo goed dachten te kennen.

In de voorstelling wordt gesproken in Nederlands en Engels (met Engelse boventitels).

mean, everyone thinks you look like her, but I’m curious how young were you when people
started telling you this?’
Emma: ‘That’s so interesting, I don’t think, I didn’t think, I don’t think anyone ever told me

Emma Watson (Paris, 1990) is a British actress, activist, feminist and (role) model. In Emma
Watson – The Play, Caro Derkx continues her search for identity. In an attempt to meet the
other, Derkx – together with actress Nora El Koussour – enters into a dialogue with Emma
Watson. A filmic production on the power of role models, new heroes and other
possibilities. Image that change starts with us daring to think differently. Imagine we had
the courage to shape this world according to our ideals. Imagine that idealism starts in the
theatre. This would be that rare opportunity to escape from everything we thought we
knew so well.
