From van Beethoven - Filip Peeters, An Miller, Damiaan De Schrijver & Joris Van den Brande

In Van van Beethoven the composer is woken up again, 200 years after his death. Not as an icon, but as a human. A man who fought against his body, his doubts, and the expectations of the world. Filip Peeters and An Miller bring him as a stubborn seeker: someone who needs art to keep breathing, someone who refuses to let himself be tamed by perfection or convention. The performance plays with humor and seriousness, with Beethoven who was already modern back then, revolutionary even, and who still sounds today as if he was written yesterday. A portrait full of drift, beauty, and stubborn humanity. ‘I am satisfied with almost nothing, I find it all bad. That is why I think I am so good.’
