First Love's Second Chance (Getting Over Heintje)

When mother and daughter enter the stage to act as a mother and a daughter, they step into a different kind of a relationship, which makes them fellow actors, but which does not completely replace the arena of the original relationship, which is inevitable. It is, however, exactly on the basis of them acting as themselves that their roles come to be duplicated and intensified, and start to peel off like old skin. What is it that remains? The thought of human contact as something to be made up over and over again, if we want it to be freer. Moreover, the thought that every relationship presents thousands of possibilities and that these possibilities emerge from the sheer act of playing, whereas theatre has the power to point this out.
