Nouveau Fuck is a show and a manifesto written by the enfant terrible of Dutch literature, Stella Bergsma.
When do women become truly dangerous? Nouveau Fuck has the answer: When they cease to please. When they throw away all ties and own their Nouveau Fuck style.
Nouveau Fuck invites you be rude, immodest and radically free. It also means horny, dirty, furious and bad.
It is a movement, a lifestyle, a way of being, seeing and perceiving.
In a society that only seems to have room for one type of person, Nouveau Fuck wants to stretch the space so that everyone has a place. Make room for women and others.
Radical honesty.
Speak, shout, roar your truth.

"Honest", "visual" and "bold" are words that try to describe the performance "Nouveau Fuck" - but few words from everyday speech can describe what the spectators witnessed.
Throughout the hour the play lasts, we experience watching a cloth vagina being stimulated to classical music, a rape, rage, shame, silence, countless vaginas, blood and much, much more.
A total shamelessness in everything that belongs to a woman's existence permeates the performance
Nouveau Fuck is a performance that is a lot! The rough, the bold, it's juicy and sensual, it's visually hard-hitting, it's raw and brutal, and you get it right in the face, for better or for worse.
It's as disturbing as it is fascinating to watch. Sometimes you hardly know where to look, but tearing yourself away from what is happening is impossible.
Smits and Akker really give it their all on stage and deliver intense and powerful performances on stage, both verbally and physically. The puppet is led elegantly and expressively in the sequences it is in. The play has good dynamics and drive, they keep the audience riveted from start to finish.
