A sister and two brothers gather in the house where their father is dying. As they keep watch, they take stock of their hectic lives. Briefly escaping the madness of the day, the carefree togetherness of their youth shimmers through once more. But what remains of what they shared as children?
“Testament is the theater hit of the year” (De Morgen ★★★★)
‘Testament’ is a play about unconditional family bonds and inevitable fault lines, about the dynamics of families, and about what we leave to one another—willingly or unwillingly. Because an inheritance is more than money.
“Witty and full of pace” (De Standaard ★★★★)
Regisseur Peter Monsaert brings his view on families and hidden stories to the theater and does so with three players known for their disarming honesty and ability to relieve pain with laughter.
