Sirenade is an enthralling musical street theater performance where two mermaids are entangled in a soprano duel, balancing between reality and fantasy.

The mythical siren rising from the waves like a beckoning tower full of seaweed and nets, or the fairytale mermaid surrounded by glitter and glamour. They sing. They seduce. They battle.

Two men are caught in between. Who knows what will happen to the audience.

Those who watch are not just spectators but pawns in a scène that becomes increasingly absurd. Classical/operatic musical theater, unexpected musical twists, and a visual world that enchants and disrupts.

Guided by Poulenc, Mozart, Purcell, Gilbert&Sullivan, Satie, Weill and more Sirenade pulls you into a climax that no one could have foreseen. A magical, comical, and captivating performance by OPERAWERF, Fairy In Boots, Productions en Zonen & Lindeland.

Two daughters of this aged stream are we

And both our sea-green locks have comb'd for ye

Come bathe with us an hour or two

H. Purcell
