TROY - lazarus for beginners

A Dionysian theater feast about the intoxication of revenge, about power and beauty, and about the gods... and the sacrifices they demand. De Grieken, the foundation of Western storytelling. The foundation of a human image, too. War, war, and more war. Revenge, revenge, and more revenge. Toxic males, clever and slavish females, the gods... and the sacrifices they demand. The foundation to start with. The starting point. But did we leave? And are we not still those same beginners? Where, for heaven's sake, have we started? by and with Koen De Graeve, Pieter Genard, Günther Lesage, Ryszard Turbiasz, Joris Van den Brande and 8 students from 4 theater schools: Siebe Boone, Roos de Buysscher, Lena Devillé, Domien Huybrechts, Lander Merckx, Hanna Peeters, Lotte Smets and Lien Vandenabeele Een hilarious, rousing, but above all very intelligent performance that is more than an introduction to the classical plays. 'TROJE by LAZARUS subtly draws direct connections between Antiquity and the world of today.' – Karl van den Broeck, Apache ‘LAZARUS proves that the collective has lost nothing of its vitality and imagination after twenty years.’ – Johan Thielemans, pzazz ‘On stage are a few big names of tomorrow.' - stage tip Mathieu Lonbois, VRT NWS 'The dance... when the army takes shape, when the troops are gathered... strong work!' - Nicky Aerts, Pompidou
