De Nwe Tijd - Tell me how it should be done

What if we decide to stay together? What if we consciously choose not to retreat into our own righteousness, but to keep looking for what connects us? Two friends can no longer be with, but also not without each other. In an attempt to save their friendship, they dig into the origin of their clashes and into ways to understand each other again. Because how can you clash so hard with someone you actually love? How far do you want to get out of your own comfort zone to really understand each other? Suzanne Grotenhuis and Freek Vielen, together De Nwe Tijd and friends for more than twenty years, open their own history for this performance. They stand on stage with everything they share: the old pain and the beautiful memories. The result is a funny, sometimes uncomfortable, and sincere search for connection. For friends, parents, children, and couples who keep trying. Despite everything. from, with: Suzanne Grotenhuis, Freek Vielen dramaturgy, text contribution, final direction: Wannes Gyselinck artistic advice: Lineke Rijxman music: Hendrik Lasure decor, light: Czeslaw de Wijs light: Emilie Poelmans technique: Tim van der Linden technical support: Sander Salden coproduction: PerPodium with the support of: the Vlaamse Overheid, the Tax Shelter of the Belgische Federale Overheid with thanks to: Debby Coussement, Sabina Kumeling, Lore Meesters, Laura Mentink, Lin Petersen, Roel Swanenberg, c o r s o, DE HOE, hetpaleis
