Family

Voor Family invites theater maker Louis Janssens and four players of different generations to stand on stage with him. They tell stories, ask questions, and seek comfort, support, and recognition from each other. They talk about how family ties connect us and how they inevitably determine our lives. About blood family and chosen family. About parents, children, growing up, and the fear of being left behind. The players stand on stage as themselves, but throughout the performance, they also seem to become each other's family more and more. Family is a poetic and recognizable text performance about the universal concept of family. Starting from a queer perspective, they tell a larger human story about having and searching for a family. Not everyone has children, but in the end, we are all a child.
