Pepijn Schoneveld Creates Theater Show About Darkest Period of His Life: 'Now Grateful for My Depression and Anxiety Disorder'
Actor and theater maker Pepijn Schoneveld (41) is launching a new solo performance titled Welkom dat je luistert, which addresses his past struggles with severe anxiety and depression. Eight years ago, after reaching rock bottom following the loss of family support and ineffective treatments, he realized he had to take responsibility for his own mental health. Now stable for six years, Schoneveld designed and built the set himself to symbolize his journey toward autonomy. However, the show also warns against excessive individualism, emphasizing that humans still rely on others, as illustrated by a self-made lamppost in the decor. The comedy and kleinkunst show features fourteen songs, including classics by Ramses Shaffy and Maarten van Roozendaal.
