Korneel De Rynck - Back to the Golden Sixties!

During the golden sixties, prosperity in our country increased spectacularly. People bought a car, a television, and all kinds of household appliances. A telephone appeared in the house, and a transistor radio. Homes got a bathroom, instead of the zinc tub, and an indoor toilet, with real toilet paper. Daily life changed completely. In this performance, we squeeze ourselves into a 2CV and travel back to that time. Historian and storyteller Korneel De Rynck, author of the bestseller ‘De golden sixties', speaks with wonder and humor about how life changed between 1958, the year of the Expo, and 1973, the year of the oil crisis. Also with numerous photos, television footage, and music fragments. We eat spongy Expo bread and become members of the Milk Brigade, buy a washing machine, drive on the first highways, and watch the most popular TV programs. But there is also live music. A famous ad-hoc band, with Wouter Berlaen (Berlaen, Raymond van het Groenewoud), Esther Lybeert (The Antler King, Laïs), and Maarten Flamand (The Antler King), throws sixties hits into the room at just the right moments. And so you get a mix of word, image, and music. A particularly amusing trip down memory lane. Nostalgic for those who experienced the 60s and 70s, surprising for those born later.
