With VLAMINGO, Nela Deleu reveals her path to becoming a Fleming.
A specific and recognizable love story.
VLAMINGO is an intimate story, a monologue in documentary form. An autobiographical play about integration. Through personal experiences, Nela Deleu delves into a universal understanding of integration, assimilation, adaptation, appreciation… With a good dose of humor, she reflects on the importance of Dutch and general language development. And takes you through her search for ways to overcome cultural and attitudinal differences.
