Elegast - Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen

Elegast Vraie history and all true May I tell you, listen closely Thus begins Karel ende Elegast and it is immediately clear that the writer wants you to believe him. He emphasizes the authenticity of the story, asks permission to tell it, and commands you to listen. Entire essays have been written about those two verses alone. In total, there are 1419 verses, enough for a Wikipedia of text analysis. Een Vlaamse classic full of food for thought gets a new lease on life! "I want to know who you are, and where you are riding to at this hour, and what your father's name is. And whether you, as a child, ever had a bunny that pooped square droppings?" An angel gives Keizer Karel the order to go stealing at night. Thus begins the adventure of the king with the magnificent beard. An edifying story about loyalty, trust, and honorable behavior. Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue, and Inge Paulussen pump new blood into the medieval version. In Na Van the fox that made havoc, Leue tackles a second text from the Canon to feel how words can connect you with people from eight hundred years ago and, at the same time, with people from Ypres to Tongeren. The commonality shatters distance and time. Credits: Cast: Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue, and Inge Paulussen Tekst & Direction: Dimitri Leue Muziek: Antoon Offeciers.
