Willemijn Hordijk
But Daddy I Love Her
Like many young women, Willemijn grew up believing she would find a handsome prince. She thought she had found him, so she gave him her time, love, and especially her voice. And in the end, she died. But unlike other princesses, she picked up the pen to write the ending of her own fairy tale...
Willemijn tells a story of growing up as a young woman, fighting dragons and life after a toxic relationship.
Willemijn Hordijk grew up in a small, boring village in the Netherlands. Searching for adventure, she moved to the big city of Utrecht to study Theatre and Education and now works as an actress and drama teacher. She’s a fairy tale detective, vintage lover, and wine enthusiast who loves doing karaoke. She specialises in heartbreak songs while holding a glass of chardonnay in an old flower dress. Her favourite nickname is Tante (Dutch for auntie) and she always brings lipstick. You never know when you have to kiss a frog….

Meja O. Rodriguez
The Story that Disappeared
Many years ago, under the stars, an epic tale was told and lost. How many stories have been told and lost since then? During this performance, storyteller Meja O. Rodriguez explores stories from her family's past, including the journey from one country to another.
How many memories disappeared along the way, and how much of the culture gets lost from one generation to another?
My name is Meja Ohlsson Rodriguez. I am a young storyteller born and raised in Ljungby, the land of legends in Sweden. Because of this, I have been blessed to have stories around me from a very young age. But it wasn't until I was 15 that I realised that this was a profession I could have.
Even though I am not a full-time storyteller yet, I have been given the opportunity to tell stories for a lot of different audiences and on different occasions. Everything from a guided tour in the Museum of Legends or in the woods by the fire during the storytelling festival in Ljungby. I have competed in the Swedish storytelling championship. And the opportunities never cease to come. And now I am creating a performance about me for the first time ever. The stories from my family's journey to Sweden and the stories and memories we lost on the way.

Mari Qviller
Breidablikk
Mari Qviller wants to tell you the true story of how being dumped led her to walk all alone for 40 days in the Norwegian nature the summer before high school.
You are invited to peek through the window of her childhood bedroom and embark on an expedition through the world's largest forest, a little detour to visit the least smelly part of old Norse mythology, and a helicopter ride out to the open sea at the edge of the world.
Breidablikk combines autobiography, mythical storytelling, and satire to explore the heroic story of the Norwegian oil industry.

Mari Qviller (24) is a Norwegian playwright and activist. She lives in a farm collective on an island in rural Norway. In 2022, she got her bachelor's degree in script writing from the Norwegian Actors Institute (NSKI) and debuted at Unge Viken Theatre with the play Little Blue Men. The same year, she appeared in the mini-documentary The Biggest Test made by Norway's state-owned oil company Equinor. Mari worked for three years in the environmental organisation Young Friends of the Earth, and in the spring of 2023, she occupied the Norwegian Ministry of Oil and Gas for five days with fellow environmental and Sami activists.
In 2024, Mari’s theatre company has been on tour with her original play Mausoleum.
For the next two years, she has been granted the state artists scholarship and is working on bringing new queer art to young people in rural Norway.
