Adelheid Roosen, established 1958.
Born between Teteringen and Ulft.
Like a rose, praised for her flowers,
despised for her thorns.
Sometimes she’s confused and prunes the rose with thorns and all.
She loves the emperor’s clothes,
precisely because they don’t exist.
A confirmed servant, she’s the king’s fool.
The world is her court.
She is an active theatre maker.
