Antigone - The Hyena Lane

We found you on the side of the road. Or you searched for us and only then found us. You were lost. Lost everything. But now you are here. In de Hyenalaan. In the white villa, four creatures are ready day and night for every form of care and shelter. A meeting house. A hideout. A warm place where one feels accepted. De Hyenalaan is a plea that makes one think about caring and taking care. About how we organize that care as a society and as a friend, classmate, grandchild, as a lover and as a neighbor. What can we mean to someone? What does social engagement mean? And how do we meet each other? A performance by Marlies Tack and Michaël Vandewalle, who use their experience as theater makers in the social-artistic field for the creation of De Hyenalaan: a new world of care and taking care.
