Theater Antigone - The Hyena Lane

We found you on the side of the road. Or you searched for us and only then found us. You were lost. Lost everything. But now you are here. In de Hyenalaan. In the white villa, four creatures are ready day and night for every form of care and shelter. A meeting house. A hideout. A warm place where one feels accepted. De Hyenalaan is a plea that makes one think about caring and taking care. About how we organize that care as a society and as a friend, classmate, grandchild, as a lover, and as a neighbor. What can we mean to someone? What does social engagement mean? And how do we meet each other? A performance by Marlies Tack and Michaël Vandewalle, who use their experience as theater makers in the social-artistic field for the creation of ‘De Hyenalaan’: a new world of care and taking care. Encounters and stories about the confrontation with poverty, mental suffering, addictions, institutions, and care agencies are part of the foundation. We must all worry about our youth care. The five-star performance ‘De Hyenalaan’ by Antigone makes it poignantly palpable. We watched along with people who know the system from the inside: “It is good to laugh about it sometimes, otherwise it is to weep.” - Wouter Hillaert, De Standaard ★★★★★ ‘From their affinity with social-artistic theater work, Marlies Tack and Michaël Vandewalle De Hyenalaan make: a convincing performance that starts from youth care but ultimately looks broader at how we can take care of our social fabric.’ - Simon Knaeps, Etcetera 'Michael Vandewalle and Marlies Tack make with ‘De Hyenalaan’ a very fine, touching, and above all confronting performance.’ - Klaas Tindemans, pzazz A performance by Michaël Vandewalle and Marlies Tack - Antigone Met Silke Thorrez, Tom Ternest, Michael Vandewalle and Marlies Tack Eindregie Simon D’Huyvetter Scenografie Giovani Vanhoenacker Kostuums Marij De Brabandere Lichtontwerp Jonas Lambrigts Geluidsontwerp Niels Vanherpe and Lukas Vanhoutte Productie Antigone Coproductie Perpodium Maker masks Alain Verhelst (String puppet theater) With the support of Flanders, the Tax Shelter of the Belgische Federale Overheid and the Stad Kortrijk Scènefoto's Thomas Dhanenes
