“An inheritance is more than money”
A sister and two brothers come together in the house where their father is lying on his deathbed. While they keep watch, they take stock of their hectic lives. Briefly escaped from the delusion of the day, the casual togetherness of their youth shines through once again. But what remains of what they shared with each other as children?
Testament is a performance about unconditional family ties and inevitable fault lines, about the dynamics of families and about what we leave behind for each other – intentionally or unintentionally. Because an inheritance is more than money.
Regisseur Peter Monsaert brings his view on families and hidden stories to the theater and does so with Janne Desmet, Titus De Voogdt & Dominique Van Malder, three actors who are known for their disarming honesty and ability to alleviate pain with laughter.
