In 2019 I ran from the Netherlands to Italy for happiness. 72 marathons in 112 days. On the way I asked: what can I do that makes YOU happy? After the running journey I started travelling as a catsitter and nomad, which I still do today. My theatre performances are about the happiness and energy of these adventures.
GET IN TOUCHRun for happiness
In an evening-filling theatre performance you travel along with Coens expressive stories and discoveries as a catsitter and nomad. On the way he reflects on a magical journey: Coen ran from The Netherlands to Italy for happiness.
The theatre performance is in Dutch, but I would love to translate it into English!
