17 Nov - 18 Nov
What if you have everything it takes to be loved, yet your love remains unrequited?

Director Agnes Laura Kumpina breathes new life into William Shakespeare’s famous poem and shows just how relatable heartbreak remains, even centuries later.
A contemporary theatre production about love and rejection
When Venus, the goddess of love, descends to earth, she falls head over heels for the young Adonis. She is clever, powerful and attractive, but Adonis shows little interest. The harder Venus tries to win his love, the greater her despair becomes. What begins as a romantic longing slowly turns into a struggle filled with jealousy, pride and possessiveness.
In *Venus & Adonis*, Agnes Laura Kumpina explores the darker sides of love. When does desire turn into obsession? And can you truly love someone without expecting anything in return?
Based on William Shakespeare’s original poem from 1593, Toneelschuur Producties presents a poetic and thought-provoking production about the quest for true love. With Shaunie Goetz and Roman Derwig on stage, a compelling story unfolds about human emotions, boundaries and the power of letting go. A unique theatre experience that moves the audience and provokes thought.
