Writer Roel Pronk knows what he is talking about. He himself faced that dark doubt. A personal experience that makes this performance intensely real. With multiple actors, music, silence, and poetry, Roel's thoughts come to life. And yes, it rubs. But it is also recognizable, sharp, and sometimes even funny.

ADEM is not just a story about suicide; it is an invitation to see the world around you with different eyes. It is theater that does not judge, but connects. It invites you to pause. To empathize. And to find hope – especially when you can’t see it anymore.

This is a story that needs to be heard.
