The Gentle Truth: A Night with Laura van Dolron

In an era where the world grows increasingly harsh, it's time to respond with profound softness—a silence deep enough to silence the screamers. Laura van Dolron invites you to an evening that will open your heart and ignite your hope. Hope is not just the pursuit of a positive outcome, but the realization that we must do what we know is right. Together, we can harness language to send forth a gentle sound into the world, starting with you in the theater. Many pride themselves on speaking the Hard Truth... But why is that? Why are hard words deemed more truthful? And does the gentle truth, which may also be valid, get lost? Van Dolron crafts a new history of the world filled with small gestures and soft words that, though omitted from history, have the power to change it. Her performance isn't just a performance; it's a proposal for a better world, where we dare to speak up—not shouting, but stammering—supporting and reaching out to one another. It's about finding beauty in acting with kindness, where the audience becomes a conversation partner as Laura reflects on these times, firmly juxtaposing softness against the clamor. "I’m in the transition and becoming softer. The world is hardening and I’m softening. Small cushions everywhere that I didn’t know before. It’s a quiet and sweet process, and I like it, I’m less afraid. Yet I need figures like Trump to calm down. I doubt he will come to watch." Van Dolron searches for those who changed history through kindness, beauty, and truthfulness—those who performed small deeds that had great impact, who showed courage by refusing to engage in violence, and who made sacrifices often unseen, but which beautified the world. Come and celebrate these individuals, and feel that you too can be one of them. Every action done with love contributes, no matter how small.
