During Film Fest Vaes, Dy-andere Vrouw takes on a very special setting, right in the heart of the beautiful Vaeshartelt
In Dy-andere Vrouw, singer and presenter Dyanne Sleijpen invites inspiring women from Limburg to join her on stage.
Through their favorite songs and open, honest conversations, the story behind each woman unfolds. What lessons has she learned? Where does she find her greatest happiness? Which mountains did she have to climb to get where she is today?
Touching, funny, tender, intense and sometimes just a little uncomfortable. That is exactly what makes it real.
These women are given the stage they truly deserve.
Guests of this edition:
KARIN PINCKAERS
Karin was living life to the fullest. Full of plans. Full of energy. Owner of Camping Osebos. Entrepreneur. A doer.
And then somewhere in the middle of everyday life, she is diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
What follows is not a straight path, but a search. For control. For strength. For okay, what now
With sports, discipline and a strong dose of perseverance, she tries to stay ahead of the disease. But there comes a moment when you can no longer outrun reality. When you have to choose, hold on or let go.
A story she has already captured in two books. About resilience. About redefining what truly matters. And about the question, what is success when life suddenly takes a different turn.
BRIGITTE VAN ECK
Brigitte is director of Theater aan het Vrijthof, in a cultural sector that actively engages with what is happening in the world. She is also managing director of Festival Musica Sacra and board member of the Limburg Festival.
Previously, she was director of the Munttheater in Weert and before that business director of Toneelgroep Maastricht. A woman who knows the cultural world inside and out and moves within it.
She knows what it takes to stay the course, even when things get challenging.
What you may not immediately see is what has shaped her, but it is present in everything. In her leadership. In her choices. In how she creates space for others.
A story about direction. About responsibility and ambition.
And about how, through your own story, you create space for new stories from others.
The evening will be accompanied musically by pianist Paul Pelzer, with live piano performance.
An evening to listen, to feel and perhaps to see yourself in a slightly different light.
