Letters from Toots - Rutger Mathys, Ella Michiels, Max Wyckaert & Wido Uvin

Homesickness for the Marollen, chats with world stars, success versus missing: the heart of Toots goes bare in a performance like a diary Geen Belg who sometimes puts the harmonica to the lips, cannot get around Toots Thielemans. With the legacy of the world's most famous rascal as a compass, Rutger Mathys in his turn grew into a jazz phenomenon. For this performance, he rummaged through the letter archive of Toots' wife: correspondence to the Marollen, travel reports, chats with Quincy Jones and Barack Obama. Four young makers bring Toots back to the here and now. What do those letters tell about a career in the arts? What does jazz mean in a time when everyone is a content creator and world traveler?
