Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

Teuntje Post

Teuntje Post received a contribution to develop a theatre performance with Raf Stekelenburg. In Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, fast-rising young writer Tez Kobalt Weber and aspiring feminist journalist Lois confront each other on activism, abuse of power and the fear of the public pillory. A sharp piece of zeitgeist where they reflect with humour and schwung on power, "the grey area" and how to deal with ingrained issues as a new generation.

Raf Stekelenburg and Teuntje Post met at De Noorderlingen (preparatory theatre school in Groningen). Here they found each other in a shared love for socially critical, linguistic plays, absurd types and dry humour. After a few years, their paths parted as they began their studies at the theatre school in Utrecht (Raf) and Arnhem (Teuntje). Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss is their first performance.
