Louis Janssens - Family

Poetic and recognizable theater about blood family and chosen family For the performance 'Family', theater maker Louis Janssens invited four players of different generations to stand on stage with him. They tell stories, ask questions, and seek comfort, support, and recognition from each other. It is about how family ties connect us and how they inevitably determine our lives. About blood family and chosen family. About parents, children, growing up, and the fear of being left alone. The players stand on stage as themselves, but throughout the performance, they also seem to become each other's family more and more. 'Family' is a poetic and recognizable text performance about the universal fact of family. Starting from a queer perspective, they tell a larger human story about having and searching for a family. Not everyone has children, but in the end, we are all a child. Extra: The performance is introduced at 7:15 p.m. Direction: Louis Janssens & Peter Seynaeve Tekst & acting: Louis Janssens, Peter Seynaeve, Maureen Teeuwen, Mourad Baaiz & Francis Geeraert
