MYRTE SIEBINGA

In LUCKILY, Myrte Siebinga portrays characters who seem unrelated at first glance, but who all struggle with the same issues. From a perfectionist kindergartener to a dog trainer with little authority, from a teacher desperate for the validation of a glitter 3D sticker to a bouncer with philosophical musings: all of them are searching for happiness in lives that turn out differently than expected.

With razor-sharp precision, Myrte dissects our ridiculous expectations and the inevitable disappointments that follow. You’ll laugh until you cry, but deep down you know: this is also about you. About failed relationships, botched career moves, and that uncomfortable feeling that everyone else seems to have life figured out better than you. Take comfort: they don’t.

Do you want to laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh, see yourself reflected in others’ awkwardness, escape from your own “real life” for a while, or are you simply a lover of pure comedy? Then there is Myrte Siebinga.
