Marlies Tack and Michaël Vandewalle / Antigone | De Hyenalaan

"We found you on the side of the road. Or you looked for us and only then found us. You were lost. Lost everything. But now you are here. In de Hyenalaan. In the white villa, four creatures are ready day and night for every form of care and shelter. A meeting house. A hideout. A warm place where one feels accepted." De Hyenalaan is a plea that makes you think about caring and taking care. About how we organize that care as a society and as a friend, classmate, grandchild, as a lover and as a neighbor. What can we mean to someone? What does social engagement mean? And how do we meet each other? A performance by Marlies Tack and Michaël Vandewalle, who use their experience as theater makers in the socio-artistic sector to create De Hyenalaan : a new world of care and taking care. Encounters and stories about the confrontation with poverty, mental suffering, addictions, institutions and care agencies are part of the foundation. *After the performance, we will talk to the makers and professionals from youth care.
