Ricky Koole - Rare Leeftijd

Ricky Koole takes the stage solo - this time truly alone, with just a guitar.

She is restless, though she's not quite sure why. She's bothered by a messy jawline, people who speak too softly, kiwis from New Zealand, and breathing too long and too deeply during yoga. And sometimes she thinks out loud.

She talks about her teenage son who no longer needs her, while her parents increasingly demand her attention. In between, she wonders if she can still flirt with younger men - because is she old or not? She thinks she is. Friends say: "You're at a weird age, that's the problem. It's only temporary."

What always helps is singing. So she sings.
