She lives in Puerto Vallarta with her sister Clara. Valeria has long hidden her pregnancy for her absent mother April, but because of the financial pressure and overwhelming responsibility to have a baby in the house, Clara decides to call their mother. April comes, ready to help her daughters, but it soon becomes clear why Valeria wanted to keep her at a distance.
The Mothership
18 January 2017 / Westergasfabriek (Music)
In the words of the Mothership: “In the Mothership we play it funky. Not yer disco-glitter-wig kinda pussy funk. But the dirty greasy gritty streetcorner kinda sweaty balls funk. So get your moves together and hit the floor.” Check this exciting show at Pacific Parc this coming Thursday night.
Tulip Day
20 January 2018 / Dam Square
Every year on January there is a party right at the Dam: the opening of the tulip season with the official kick-off in Amsterdam. On Saturday the 20th of January 2018 it is time again, then the Dam will be transformed by growers into a tulip pluck garden with no less than 200,000 colorful tulips. Extra fun: this year is the theme of the National Tulip Day ‘romance’. Tulips have a rich symbolism. Therefore is the perfect opportunity to create an unforgettable present for that special person.
