Workprocess:

'The crack in the soul', that is where Neel is looking for every day and every
performance again. She discovered this searching attitude towards life on a
very young age, because she had a deep and endless need to create new worlds,
which were more fullfulling than the reality around her. Serviving ment for her
creating. It took and takes her a very long time to become powerfull enough to
bring these worlds on stage, without holding back. Paradoxially this meant that
loneliness and freedom are linked together. The joy lies in the fact that on stage
she can create herself in different forms over and over again. Never trapped?

The contrast in her work is that the raw, human nature becomes more personal
and fragile than daily life itself. Recently she owns that she is a homo sapiens
'pur sang'.

'........de Jong externalises a series of inner worlds for her audience....'
