Where we come from

I grew up in a farming village, Ekeren, where my youth glided along with the seasons. With six friends, the Bonanza boys.  Without mobile phones, without the digital storm that blows today. Only the street as our playing field.  Life was simple, the days seemed to crawl. If only I could return once more, crawl back into the fantasy of back then. To be a cowboy again for a moment. That child from back then, free from tomorrow. What did we know of what was to come, or of what we had never seen.  Jan Van Looveren returns to his youth, to a time when everything was still simple, far away from the fast-paced life of today. His biggest question as a child was whether he wanted to play the cowboy or the Indian. A carefree existence, then, but was everything really that simple back then, or did it only seem that way? This powerful, comedic monologue with live music is a warm and relatable look back that leaves no one untouched.
