Antigone - The Hyena Lane

We found you at the edge of the road. Or you searched for us and only then found us. You were lost. You had lost everything. But now you are here. In de Hyenalaan. In the white villa, four creatures are ready day and night for every form of care and shelter. A meeting house. A hideout. A warm place where one feels accepted. De Hyenalaan is a plea that makes one think about caring and taking care. About how we organize that care as a society and as a friend, classmate, grandchild, as a lover, and as a neighbor. What can we mean for someone? What does social engagement mean? How do we meet each other? A performance by Marlies Tack and Michaël Vandewalle, who stand on stage with Silke Thorrez and Tom Ternest and who use their experience as theater makers in the social-artistic field for the creation of De Hyenalaan: a new world of care and taking care. Encounters and stories about the confrontation with poverty, mental suffering, addictions, institutions, and care agencies lie at the basis.
