Barmhartige Geburen | Ghent comedy

A provocative comedy about hypocrisy. ' Barmhartige Geburen ' is a shamelessly funny theater comedy in which hypocrisy, greed, and hidden desires collide head-on. A lot is at stake. Pieter, a contractor with a small construction company on the verge of bankruptcy, sees his last chance for salvation in a decisive dinner with Michaël Van Eden: a pious real estate manager with power, money, and a nose for profitable monasteries. His wife Marie does everything possible to organize a perfect, devout-looking evening, because this deal must go through. But when Sofie, the seemingly innocent neighbor and schoolteacher, knocks on the door unexpectedly, she brings a completely different, secret life with her. What starts as a polite and calculated dinner quickly derails into a whirlwind of misunderstandings, sexual chaos, and hilarious lies. Terwijl Pieter and Marie desperately pretend to be paragons of Catholic virtue, while revelations pile up: a submissive “maid,” noisy secrets behind the bedroom door… Everyone plays a role, no one tells the truth, and hypocrisy lurks around every corner. Will Zal Pieter manage to secure the contract for the monasteries? Will Zal Marie be able to keep up the appearance of piety? And above all: who unmasks whom, when mercy is hard to find and the neighbors turn out to be anything but holy?
