True history and all true May I tell you, listen here So begins Karel ende Elegast and it is immediately clear that the writer wants you to believe him. He emphasizes the authenticity of the story, asks permission to tell it, and commands you to listen. Entire essays are written about those two verses alone. In total, there are 1419 verses, enough for a Wikipedia of text analysis. Een Vlaamse classic full of food for thought gets new life! "I want to know who you are, and where you are driving to at this hour and what your father's name is. And whether you as a child ever had a bunny that pooped square droppings?" An angel gives Keizer Karel the task at night to go steal. Thus begins the adventure of the king with the beautiful beard. An edifying story about loyalty, trust, and honorable behavior. Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen pump new blood into the medieval version. Na Van the fox who made a fuss takes on a second text from the Canon to feel how words can connect you with people from eight hundred years ago and at the same time with people from Ypres to Tongeren. The common shatters distance and time. Credits: Performance evening: Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen Tekst & Direction: Dimitri Leue Muziek: Antoon Offeciers. Antoon composes music not too loud, but loud enough. Costumes: Atelier Utilisé- Lynn Wauters. Lynn pushes chainmail under her sewing machine, until the iron wire lets her suffocate.
