Experience the captivating story of Bep Rietveld, the artist daughter of renowned Dutch designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld.

The Rietveld Schroder House is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a unique performance of the theatre play 'Rietveld's Daughter' in and around the house.

The construction of the Rietveld Schröder House, the creation of the Red Blue Chair and his evolution from furniture maker to architect, daughter Bep personally witnessed and lived through all these events of her father, Gerrit Rietveld.

Rietveld’s Daughter is an innovative theatrical performance about the life of the famous Dutch architect Rietveld. Through the eyes of Bep, Rietveld’s oldest daughter, we see how her father is swept up in this major Dutch art movement De Stijl. The colourful parade of characters that enter their lives not only changes the course of Rietveld’s life, but ultimately Bep’s as well. 

This play gives a moving insight into the life behind a famous name.

The whole story is played out by a single performer, Audrey Bolder, who switches characters seamlessly.  From Rietveld to daughter Bep and from Rietveld’s wife to comically-portrayed individuals of De Stijl movement. 

This activity is part of the 100th anniversary programme.
