Both Rosie and Micha lived and worked in Volksroom the past few years. Here arose the collective initiative Ne mosquito pas, led by Simon Van Schuylenbergh. For five years, a group of artists, all with different backgrounds, created solo’s around failure and guilty pleasures. From Ne mosquito pas sprang the idea for GERMAN STAATSTHEATER.
