· Description: A personal search for Helene Kröller-Müller. Julika goes narrative, playing and singing in search of the enthusiastic, but also complex woman behind the world famous collection.
A life for the art and the art of living. That is what 'Born from sorrow' is about. Julika Marijn delves into the life of art collector Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939) in a playful and brutal manner. A power woman avant la lettre who was one of the first to purchase frequent work from Vincent van Gogh, Piet Mondriaan and Bart van der Leck. With her special collection she realized the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Veluwe. From this museum Julika - especially for this performance - had access to the coffin with over 3000 letters from Helene, addressed to her soul mate Sam van Deventer..
