Lucien Buysse: The man without thirst!

In this teaser of the theater monologue, Nick J. brings Hollevoet Tourwinnaar Lucien Buysse back to life. The hero of 1926 looks back on a life of mud, mountains, and suffering—and comes to life in words rather than on a bicycle. Nick J. Hollevoet presents a teaser of his theater monologue. The audience is drawn into the wild Tour de France of the interwar period. Amidst the heroic violence, space is created for the human behind the champion. In his later years, Buysse proves to be a born storyteller—sharp, dry, moving—someone who recreates his past by sharing it. Nick switches between young and old, between struggle and memory, between silence and language. What begins as a sports story grows into a theatrical portrait of a man who achieved his greatest victories not only on the road, but also in the way he learned to retell his life.
