'Theater documentary 'Parental Pardon' highlights parenthood from multiple, sometimes surprising angles.' - de Volkskrant ★★★★

A child is made in a jiffy and you don't need any diplomas to raise it. Parents do nothing, they imitate what their fathers, mothers and nurturers taught them or try very hard not to. According to the international rights of the child, there is a right to "optimal development, growth and development. Nice words, but what does this mean for parents' duties? What if they mean well, but really can't? Theater maker Minou Bosua uses music, song, documentary and a lot of humor to investigate what becomes of parenthood and parenting.

With children from Waalwijk and surroundings
The libretto of this new, humorous 'folk opera' is based on the experiences of (former) children's judges (whether or not distraught) youngsters and (whether or not desperate) parents. With children from Waalwijk and its surroundings and new music by composers Sinem Altan and Robbert Klein.

Parent Amnesty is the third and final part of the MINOUX theater triptych Mother-Father-Children. After the comical and moving first two parts, Mother Must Not Die and Not the Fathers, it is now time to let the children have their say. All the children.
