The years - Theater Malpertuis

The first tour of De Jaren, in which star actresses Els Dottermans and Viviane De Muynck are on stage together for the first time in 40 years, received full houses and rave reviews, supported by a radiant ensemble. In the book De Jaren (2008) by Nobelprijswinnares Annie Ernaux, which is buried under superlatives, the author surveys her life between 1941 and 2006. Sketched against the canvas of a changing zeitgeist, this provides not only an impressive portrait of a woman, but also an extremely recognizable image of post-war Western history. PRESS ‘Regisseur Piet Arfeuille and his vital choir use the multi-perspective of the theater to further deepen Ernaux’s view of the times. The performance makes the power palpable to rise above your own experience.’ - Read more in De Standaard ‘Naast Dottermans and De Muynck play the young Kiana Porte and Carine van Bruggen. History flows through these four female bodies; the actresses make the text sparkle.’ – Read more in etcetera.
