Skin in the Game - fABULEUS / Rashif El Kaoui & Sofie Joan Wouters

Skin in the Game * takes place at an elite school, where teenagers are prepared to become the future architects of the world, if necessary at the expense of each other, in a system where money is the highest good. Every lesson is imbued with the value of profit and power. Eat or be eaten. That mutual competition becomes bitter earnest when the world becomes the target of a mysterious threat. A group of students is trapped in a classroom, together with a principal and a teacher. Outside, there is chaos. Who saves their skin? Who is sacrificed first? Who sells their soul? Rashif El Kaoui and Sofie Joan Wouters met years ago as young players in the fABULEUS production Wolfsroedel (2006). After their successful directorial debut De Kwetsbaren (2023), they once again let us look critically at the rules of our society. On stage is a diverse team of young people, supplemented by the young actor Zakaria Ridouani (hetpaleis & De Nwe Tijd and Milo - VTM) and Sofie Joan Wouters (Laika, FroeFroe and Dertigers - VRT1). (*) If someone has skin in the game, it means that they have personally invested time, effort, or money to achieve a higher goal. It is about direct involvement in the result of your actions.
