Jeroen Lenaerts, MANdolinMAN and Mathijs Bertel

The primal power of Houtekiet comes to life in an immersive performance about the origin of a village and of civilization itself. Jeroen Lenaerts, known as Tim from 'Thuis', shines, with enchanting projections by Lot Vandekeybus and an acclaimed live soundtrack by MANdolinMAN and Mathijs Bertel. The history of an irresistible primal man who founds a village. Deps. Our village Trotser Harder Dan all the rest From the wilderness And the wasteland It is Gesneden Gekapt Geschapen Door something intangible From the twilight An imposing beautiful Bohemer Onze father Jan Houtekiet Als one book from Flemish literature reflects the timeless and universal character of a community and the contrast between old and new, then it is Houtekiet van Gerard Walschap. A pagan ‘gospel’ about the origin of civilization, but at the same time a blueprint of the generally human: love, life, and death.
