Where we come from - Jan Van Looveren

I grew up in a farming village, Ekeren, where my youth glided along the seasons. With six friends, the Bonanza boys. Without cell phones, without the digital storm that blows now. Only the street as our playing field. Life was simple, the days seemed to crawl. If only I could return once more, crawl back into the fantasy of then. To be a cowboy for a while. That child of then, free of tomorrow. Little did we know of what was to come, or of what we had never seen. Jan Van Looveren returns to his youth, to a time when everything was still simple, far away from the fast life now. His biggest question as a child was whether he wanted to play the cowboy or the Indian. A carefree existence, then, but was everything really that simple back then, or did it only seem that way? This strong, comical monologue with live music forms a look back that leaves no one untouched. Anyone who witnessed his first passage in ‘de Mena’ knows that you shouldn't miss this one either! Have fun tonight.
