Elegast – Wannes Cappelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue and Inge Paulussen

Vraie historie ende al waer Mach ik u tellen hoorter naer 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 ever had a little rabbit as a child that pooped square droppings?" An angel gives Keizer Karel the task to go stealing at night. 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 den vos die amoc maecte pakt Leue 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 commonality shatters distance and time. Acting evening: Wannes Capelle, Jonas Leemans, Dimitri Leue, and Inge Paulussen Tekst & Direction: Dimitri Leue Muziek: Antoon Offeciers.
