Twenty-two years after Opium’s shutdown, Wikipedia today says the following. Opium is the dried milky juice of the opium poppy or sleeping bulb from which morphine and codeine are extracted by purification, and heroin by chemical processing. Used as a stimulant in China for centuries. At the end of the 1990s, the girl trio was never dried up or sleepy, but a stimulant on the other hand… “Well, those men”, laughs Inge. “I once received an envelope from a man from prison with a hundred Belgian francs in it. I had to go buy a pair of panties with that, wear them and then send them back to him. Unbelievable, isn’t it.” In the wings of ‘Tien Om Te Zien’, the legendary Opium stories reign supreme and Joyce, Inge and Katia once again form the glory trio of yesteryear. “Like it was yesterday,” they say. “We had set aside two days for the rehearsal, but only needed two hours. And three bottles of wine”, Joyce laughs.
