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

Vraie historie ende al waer (True history and all true) Mach ik u tellen hoorter naer (May I tell you, listen closely) Thus begins Karel ende Elegast and immediately it is clear that the writer wants you to believe him. He emphasizes the authenticity of the story, asks permission to tell, and commands you to listen. Entire essays are written about those two verses alone. In total, there are 1419 verses, enough for a Wikipedia of text analysis. Een Vlaamse classic full of food for thought gets new 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 if you as a child ever had a bunny that pooped square droppings?" An angel gives Keizer Karel the assignment at night to go steal. Thus begins the adventure of the king with the beautiful beard. An edifying story about loyalty, trust, and honorable behavior. Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue, and Inge Paulussen pump new blood into the medieval version. Na Van den vos die amoc maecte (the fox that made a fuss) Leue tackles a second text from the Canon to feel how words can connect you with people from eight hundred years ago and at the same time with people from Ypres to Tongeren. The common shatters distance and time. Credits: Acting evening: Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen Tekst & Direction: Dimitri Leue Muziek: Antoon Offeciers.
