A movie! Or podcast? Or something in the shape of an investigation...
Together with Siem Salaboem, I am investigating what it means for city of The Hague that the Couperus museum is disappearing. We are making a short film this year about the relationship that the residents of The Hague have with the writer Louis Couperus. We visit places where Couperus used to meet with people, such as Sociëteit de Witte and café de Kleine Witte, to speak to a diverse audience about his oeuvre. We are inspired by the psychological aspect of Couperus' novels for the form of the interviews.
Are you or do you know a Couperus reader? Or would you just like to chat with us about this? Let us know!
The launch is scheduled for the summer of 2024.
