Wende

(UK, 1978), is a singer/songwriter, theatre professional, chansonnière, actor, performer, producer and house artist at the Royal Carré Theatre. Wende uses her position to create challenging and groundbreaking projects in which language, technology and genre play different and surprising roles. Her project MENS, for example, is a raw and controversial snapshot of an era featuring electro beats and frank, fragile songs. She has performed at festivals including Down the Rabbit Hole and Into the Great Wide Open. In 2018 she won awards including the Annie M.G. Schmidt Prize and the BUMA NL Award. She and Ramsey Nasr will play the leads in the film verson of Connie Palmen's novel I.M., which will be aired in the spring of 2020. She's currently collaborating with the London Royal Court Theatre on her new show, The Song Project (working title), premiering in 2020.
