Louis Janssens | Toneelhuis - Love

Amour is a performance about how love gives direction to and determines our lives. How do we try to love the other and ourselves? Seven queer actors throw their voices and bodies into the fray to tell a universal and loving story. Personal experiences are combined with fictional stories. They speak as one voice, in one breath, in one movement, and play the life and suffering of us all. Inspired by the life and the dark, lonely, and often theatrical visual language of the German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Louis Janssens writes a new text in which confessions, declarations of love, thoughts, rejections, and desires alternate. A score in which love presents itself in all its facets: a cinematic mosaic that takes you along various conversations, encounters, look-backs, and confrontations.
