All the blue of the sky

When Emile is diagnosed with juvenile Alzheimer's, he decides to leave his safe but suffocating environment behind. On impulse, he buys a motorhome and posts a call for a travelling companion. The mysterious Joanne responds. Together they embark on an unexpected road trip that confronts them with memories, desires and the question of how to live on when the future is so uncertain.

The result is a moving theatre performance in which story and music reinforce each other. All the blue of the sky touches on themes everyone recognises: loss, hope, starting over and the courage to face yourself. A comforting experience for anyone who has ever lost someone, perhaps even themselves.

All the Blue of Heaven is a brand new musical theatre play based on Mélissa Da Costa's bestseller of the same name. Buddy Vedder and Shelley Bos perform the lead roles in this intimate, lived-in musical play, directed by Daan Wijnands, with lyrics by Max Roijé and music by Mark Kuypers.

From every theatre ticket sold, 1 euro goes to Alzheimer Nederland, promoting research into Alzheimer's disease.
