A creative jack-of-all-trades, Mathieu Wijdeven acts, performs, makes podcasts and theatre productions to connect with communities and answer questions about his identity in the Netherlands today. In his solo performance Het waarom beantwoord, Mathieu conducted extensive research into the life of his great-great-grandfather George Gerardus Theodorus Rustwijk, who was a poet and versatile artist. The more he learned about his ancestor, the more infatuation and desire he felt to share his story. Always creating something new, Mathieu involves us in his magical search for new ways of understanding ourselves, the world and reality.
