Elegast

Vraie historie ende al waer Mach ik u tellen hoorter naer So 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 for permission to tell it, and commands you to listen. This medieval Flemish classic, full of layers of meaning and food for thought, gets new life in a fresh adaptation. Keizer Karel receives the assignment from an angel at night to go and steal and thus ends up in an adventurous and edifying story about loyalty, trust, and honor. performance: Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen | text and direction: Dimitri Leue | music: Antoon Offeciers.
