“Almost Mata Hari tackles issues such as loss, betrayal and guilt, but Dorepaal’s wit and timing strike the ideal balance with lightness and laughter. Self-effacing humor, dark comedy, impromptu witticisms and hilarious impersonations add yet more color to this kaleidoscopic tribute to love, truth and creativity. I thought I knew about Mata Hari. Now, I do." - Theater Pizzazz, New York - Lisa Reitman-Dobi
An actress rehearses in her messy basement apartment, surrounded by props, costumes, and notes. Her struggle to resurrect Mata Hari prompts her to relive a dangerous love affair from her own past. Her lover, Dragan, was an irresistible mystic and street performer, an outcast from Serbia and Croatia who "liberated" himself and the women who loved him.
Mata Hari, famously known for her revealing "exotic dances" and countless affairs with influential men on both sides of World War I, was accused of counter-espionage and executed by firing squad in Paris. Fighting for her freedom until the bitter end, she refused to wear a blindfold.
In this multi-layered play, Eva Dorrepaal prepares for the role of Mata Hari by exploring a range of peculiar acting exercises, only to find her own tumultuous history with men surfacing.
