Music Collective Fiere Vrouwen (Proud Women)

Saskia Schalekamp was in the final of Art Rocks with her song 'Beste Aletta'. This success inspired her to put more women in the spotlight and to set up the music collective Fiere Vrouwen together with Louise Hensen. They produced two theater performances, which toured throughout the Netherlands. The premiere of the first performance took place in a sold-out Amsterdam theater De Kleine Komedie.
