Evi Hanssen

Let’s toast to menopause. Leave the theater with your head held high, slightly sagging breasts (for the ladies), and a healthy dose of self-confidence. Long live menopause!

In the show ‘Bloedheet & tranen’ (Bloody Hot & Tears), Flemish presenter and theater maker Evi Hanssen explores, with a healthy dose of humor, how menopause—that wondrous phase in a woman’s life—affects her body and mind. She talks about her struggles with herself and those around her, her transition from fiery sex bomb to self-assured, graying lady, and the hormonal chaos that turns her life—and that of those around her—upside down.

Just like in her previous show ‘Sinds ik niet meer drink’ (Since I No Longer Drink), Evi engages in a playful and personal conversation with her audience. She shares her experiences regarding the changes in the female body and explains, in a lighthearted yet scientifically grounded manner, how her hormones occasionally run wild. With humor, she breaks taboos and celebrates menopause together with you. This evening is dedicated to celebrating the power of women. Whether you come with female friends or with male company (because they too are dealing with menopause!), this is the ideal opportunity to toast together to this special phase.
