HERstory - The Wendelmoet Sessions - women's voices rising

Blanka Pesja

An all-female singer-songwriters concert, incl. a lecture on martyr Wendelmoet. An intimate evening honouring courageous, expressive voices.

Pulchri Studio

The evening aims to commemorate and bring to life the power and outspokenness of women – both historical and contemporary – through an interdisciplinary programme that supports courage, autonomy, and social engagement.On 20 November 1527, Wendelmoeet Claesdochter was burned at the stake in The Hague for heresy. She did not hold back, expressing her conviction that the communion wafer was “bread and flour” and the cross “a piece of wood”, and she remained resolute under severe pressure. It is because of this courage, which heralded a turning point, that we want to commemorate her beyond religious boundaries: she symbolizes the expressive voices of women who dare to assert themselves, aware of the vulnerability and risk that this entails.The evening provides a space for “vocal” women: those who dare to assert themselves autonomously and expressively and who make themselves vulnerable through their art, thereby having an impact and hopefully bringing about change.You can expect a presentation of a historical portrait, dramatic monologues, and performance art in which contemporary singer-songwriters give voice to their personal experiences, points of view, and vision.We wish to connect the past and the present through creative, artistically powerful and socially engaged means. The hope is to bring together new cross-generational audiences and introduce a less-represented theme.
