Jan De Lichte - the musical

What if a hero is actually a criminal? And what if a criminal is the only one who still dares to stand up for the forgotten people? Pijkenzot brings a brand-new musical about Jan De Lichte, a name that still captures the imagination in the Vlaamse Ardennen. In a time of poverty, inequality, and survival, Jan grows into the leader of a notorious gang. What begins as a fight against injustice degenerates into a dangerous game of power, violence, and loyalty. Because whoever defies the law pays the price sooner or later. Is Jan a savior of the poor or a man who has gone too far? Where does justice end and mercilessness begin? This musical will not be a classic hero's story, but a dark portrait of a man who grows up in harsh times and becomes the leader of a gang that lives outside the law. Pijkenzot invites you to a theater experience that balances on the edge of light and darkness.
