Until it goes quiet

A grandson tries to understand what was never spoken. In Tot het stil wordt a man returns to the past of his grandfather, the miller Thies. In a penetrating monologue, he digs among the many anecdotes for the words that Thies never spoke. Against the backdrop of the darkest shadows of the Eerste Wereldoorlog, the spiral of violence of the Tweede Wereldoorlog and the fragile periods of peace, the story unfolds that the miller ground within himself all his life. This poignant monologue, written and performed by Bart Geraets, shows how family history festers in painful silence. Until two generations later it can no longer be kept silent. Concept, text & performance: Bart Geraets Regie and Technics: Joris Schoenmaeckers
