The Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg presents a harrowing new theatre production inspired by Paulo Coelho's eponymous novel. Catch Eleven Minutes on 2 and 3 September.
Fictional masterpiece
Coelho's bestseller is based on the life story of Maria, a young Brazilian shop worker who dreams of a life filled with passion and adventure. She is lured under false pretences to Geneva where she is drawn into a world of prostitution.
Theatrical shorts
Director Ola Mafaalani tranforms the novel into ten eleven-minute episodes which allow the audience unbridled access to the life of a prostitute. Eleven Minutes is an existential drama that combines humour and sensational staging to create a thrilling theatrical experience.
