Angry Spirits

Is violence ever justified? Met Boze Geesten, LAZARUS dives back into the universe of Dostoevsky and completes his tetralogy. Once a 700-page political novel and now a swirling theater performance of 100 minutes: sharp, witty and disturbingly current. The setting? It is brewing in an apparently quiet provincial town. A young generation feels suffocated by old structures and wants to reinvent the world. It is of all times. Polarization, radicalization, ideological blindness … it all sounds eerily familiar. Revolution is in the air. Grand ideas tumble over each other. Faith, power, nihilism and freedom … it all passes in review. Great heroic words, sentences full of decisiveness … they are carried by doubt, chaos, uncertainty. What follows is a bitter-ironic comedy about people who get lost in their own convictions. Self-proclaimed idealists collide with their limits. Fanaticism flirts with madness. And the question continues to gnaw: what if you want to tear everything down, but don't know what should take its place? The answers are packed in crackling ensemble theater. Light-footed and profound. Ironic and existential. Impressive theater version of Dostoevsky's Boze Geesten pairs almost unbearable lightness with inescapable doom. – in Theaterkrant Deze performance (from the white column) you can combine in a package!
