De Roovers - What only we know

A brother and a sister. The little sister is terminally ill. The outcome is fixed, they both realize that. Together they build a world of stories to make the approaching farewell bearable. Because ‘stories are to the mind what breath is to the lungs’. This way they build a place together where everything is still possible. Theatergezelschap De Roovers brings this tender novella by Elvis Peeters to life. Illustratrice Ona-Lisa Van Haver creates magical images and silhouettes for a shadow play for this. Images and imagination take over where words fall short. What only we know is a warm and poetic performance about love, farewell and the power of stories.
