Louis Janssens - Family

Voor Familynodigt theater maker Louis Janssens invites four players from different generations to stand on stage with him. They share stories about growing up, parenthood, the search for one's own place, and the fear of being left behind alone. About how family ties connect us and how they inevitably determine our lives. Their words offer comfort, recognition, and a new perspective on what family can be. Family starts from a queer perspective, but touches on a universal feeling: the need to belong somewhere. What makes a family a family? Not everyone has children, but everyone has a past. How do those bonds shape us? And how do we find our own family? "Sometimes family can be a warm cocoon and sometimes it is a suffocating blanket, as Louis Janssens proves in his clever new performance." - ★★★★ De Standaard CREDITS DIRECTION Louis Janssens & Peter Seynaeve TEXT & PERFORMANCE Louis Janssens, Peter Seynaeve, Maureen Teeuwen, Mourad Baaiz & Francis Geeraert LIGHTING DESIGN Shane Van Laer TECHNOLOGY Fee Van Herck PRODUCTION vzw Louis CO-PRODUCTION Perpodium WITH THE SUPPORT OF Monty, CAMPO, c o r s o, kunstencentrum nona, De Grote Post, Het Nationale Theater, Theaterfestival Boulevard, De Brakke Grond, deAuteurs, De Vlaamse government & the Tax Shelter-measure of the Belgian federal government via Cronos Invest ǀ LOUISJANSSENS.COM
