Did you miss the performance of Rexit! last season because it was performed in Dutch? Then do not let this new opportunity pass you by, especially for the French-speaking public.
Paul-Henri Spaak against Leopold III, this is the historical confrontation that the play by Vincent Stuer revisits. In May 1940: the German victory seems inevitable. The former joins London to enter into resistance against the Nazi regime, the other compromises himself with the occupier. A duel of men, an important moment, a tragic misunderstanding or perhaps two fundamentally irreconcilable visions of the way in which the country must stand up against the Germans?
From this conflagration will be born, like a big bang, the original explosion that shaped Belgium.
Is it a tragic misunderstanding, a conflict of personalities or two irreconcilable visions of the way in which Belgium had to resist the occupier? Ten years later, the Royal Question will push every Belgian to choose their side and will lead the country to the brink of civil war.
Carried by Valentijn Dhaenens and Bruno Vanden Broecke, Rexit! tells the story of the political "big bang" from which contemporary Belgium was born.
