In ‘Kerff’, Sebastien Dewaele tells the story of Marcel Kerff, a butcher's son and cyclist from the Voer region circa 1900. Dewaele does not make Kerff a hero, but sketches the portrait of a man who spent his whole life serving in the shadow of others and remained true to who he was – a servant in the race, a devoted brother, and later a butler who continued to serve until his death.
‘Kerff’ is a monologue supported by live music about service, compassion, and the value of the small. As Terwijl Kerff shares his life story with humor and passion, a story unfolds about racing, about being human, about love for family, and about a search for humility in a world that today seems only to want to celebrate heroes.
