Confession, Bruno Vanden Broecke & Raven

In 'Confession', Bruno Vanden Broecke tells the story of Lasse Vonck, once a celebrated child prodigy, who, thirty years later, is a man who seems to be slowly fading from the collective memory and who ultimately even loses his voice. The text by Raven Ruëll, with whom Vanden Broecke has been making theatre for 25 years, takes its cue from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis and sketches a portrait of humanity as silent protest. Lasse is adrift, not only in the world but also within himself, searching for a meaning that eludes him. Between memory and dream, a childhood emerges in which a car is dismantled whilst no one intervenes. What lingers is the silence surrounding it and the question of why it is so difficult to break that silence. What once shone becomes silent, elusive and without a foothold.
