A music theater production by the Veenfabriek with Jeroen Willems and Marleen Scholten. Starting point is the music of 16th century composer John Dowland and the question of whether it is still necessary to believe in society.

A man and a woman with a past tour with a band. Together they perform music by John Dowland. Dressed up as Ojibwe Indians. Because that’s what they are. Or so they feel anyway. Especially the man. Who wants to be called Kwekwekibiness.

During a performance somewhere halfway through the tour, a subcutaneous tension between some of the group members no longer allows itself to be hidden. Kwekwekibiness is increasingly annoyed by the individualism of the harpsichord-playing Angel Frans, the outsider among outsiders. He also thinks they should free the Indian in the eternally wandering Dowland. There’s some whimpering at the 16th century composer. Kwekwekibiness would rather see some heroic activism. And True Indians, recognizing the Importance of Unity.

The bow may always be stretched. Destruction is looming.

But there is also she. His wife. The Amazon who led the fight against his alcoholism in their past and continues to call her husband a warrior even now. In her dreams, she meets the other-than-human, and she has promised them something. She wants to stay. Everything is made of tears, but her love is a solid rock.
