When did you leave? was developed by Via Berlin in collaboration with researchers from the University of Amsterdam. It was a theatrical experiment that explored themes of radicalization and masculinity.

Waarom spreken radicale ideeën zoveel mensen aan? Niet (alleen) door feiten, maar juist ook door verhalen. Althans, dat was onze verwachting. Om dit te onderzoeken hebben we een project opgezet met muziektheatergezelschap Via Berlin. Samen ontwikkelden we een theatervoorstelling en experiment in 1.

📚 A new study gives insight into a quiet but rapidly growing online world: The manosphere; a network of online voices claiming to speak for “men,” but often sliding into misogyny, distrust of democracy, and rigid ideas about identity.

In When did you leave?, Via Berlin explores what happens when language no longer connects, but divides. When convictions take over, and the other becomes invisible.
