About ‘Everlasting‘ – words by Annabel Oosteweeghel:
Everlasting tells the fictional story of an older couple living in the suburbs in the mid-1960s. After taking care of each other during their entire marriage, at the last stage of their lives the husband and wife wonder whether their lives could have been different, and how that would have looked like. They do so separately, each one lost in their thoughts, hopes and desires.
Five years ago, I moved from Amsterdam to the small village of Noordwijk, near the beach. To my surprise, I discovered a still-authentic 1960s bungalow that was uninhabited but still furnished. My imagination was triggered. It was as if time had stood still. So I staged a story about a married couple living in the suburbs—behind the orange bricks and sheer curtains—each with their own dreams and desires.
