TRAUM

An allegory about what we inherit from those who suffered before us What do you do with a father who survived a war but never told how? Siem doesn't know either. Yet he keeps asking questions. In TRAUM , Roeshoofd investigates how family traumas affect generations. Zoon Siem and father Garnik have conversations that are simultaneously mundane and unbearable, interspersed with imagined scenes from a war past that is never truly over. Inspired by the cult graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman, Simon De Vos sets his brand-new stage text in an indeterminate time and place; he gives the characters animal masks of rabbits and foxes. The result? An absurd allegory about victimhood, perpetration, and the repetition of violence patterns. Themes that are painfully current today. Tim Vanhamel (Millionaire) lays a nostalgic musical blanket over the play. You can combine this performance (from the blue column) in a package!
