Elegast - Wannes Cappelle, Inge Paulussen, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue

True history and all true May I tell you, listen here With those words, Karel ende Elegast immediately sets the tone. The writer wants you to believe him. He emphasizes the authenticity of the story, asks permission to tell it, and commands you to listen. Deze Vlaamse classic, rich in meanings and interpretations, gets new life on stage. What begins with a strange task: an angel gives Keizer Karel the task at night to go steal, turns into an exciting and layered story about loyalty, trust, and honor. And so begins the adventure of the king with the beautiful beard. Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen bring this ancient text back to life. "I want to know who you are, and where you are driving to at this hour and what your father's name is. And whether you as a child ever had a bunny that pooped square droppings?" Na Van the fox who made a fuss (CC de Werft, 2025) takes on a second text from the Canon to feel how words can connect you with people from eight hundred years ago. The common shatters distance and time.
