Theatervoorstelling "Een Nieuw Begin"

What if prisons were overflowing and the government offered a radical alternative? Instead of serving time, convicts could choose “A New Beginning”—a chance at a fresh, untainted life with no past. No jail, no conviction, no stigma. Sounds ideal, right?

But there is a price. To put their criminal acts behind them, they must give up something essential: their memories. Their identities, their loved ones, their entire history—all will be erased.

Who are these people who choose a blank start? What do they leave behind, and how does this affect the world they leave behind? 'A New Beginning' takes a confrontational look at the value of memories and identity.

If you had the choice, would you give it all up for a second chance?
