Margriet - L. Valckenaers & E. El Houari / Collective Everywhere

Lay a little girl “Ey ey ey!” Her little fingers entangled in the reeds “Psssst...” Her little hairs in the mud “Girl! Girl! Girl!” And her beautifully molded little body full of dents and creases On the 800th anniversary of the Leuven city legend Fiere Margriet, theater makers Lotte Valckenaers and Enorah El Houari dive back into her story. What actually happened on that horrific night when five robbers entered her inn? And where do those magical fish in the Dyle come from? Pricked by this question, Enorah and Lotte search for the origin of this supernatural story. Who took a run with the truth to save their own skin? And how does Fiere Margriet herself look at the way her story is retold year after year? A performance that addresses sensitive social themes with a humorous touch and a search for connection.
