Nacht und Nebel - storytelling theatre - the drama of the resistance in Meulebeke

“Nacht und Nebel” tells the story of the drama that befell 48 people and their families during WWII. From late November 1942 to early January 1943, arrests took place in Pittem, Tielt, Meulebeke, and Egem. The boys and men were interrogated in sometimes brutal ways. The dominoes fell quickly. These sometimes very young men disappeared into “Nacht und Nebel”. Only an NN number remained. To the outside world they disappeared, some forever. We must continue to tell this story because we may continue to hope that every generation perhaps learns from the gruesomeness? It really happened, with real people. Not over there, but here. “Nacht und Nebel” is an evocation based on authentic stories from historical texts, local sources, diaries, newspapers, and testimonies. The music is also carefully chosen and is interwoven with the story. War, the suffering of ordinary people is of all times.
