Theater Malpertuis - The Years

Everyone thought they were alone. Suddenly they were a crowd. (Paul Eluard) In the book De Jaren van Nobelprijswinnares Annie Ernaux, which is showered with superlatives, the author reviews her life between 1941 and 2006. Sketched against the canvas of a changing zeitgeist, this provides not only an impressive portrait of a woman but also an extremely recognizable image of post-war Western history. She wanted to get a grip on her passage on earth, on the time that passed through her, and realized she was not alone in that. Her highly personal life resembles that of all of us. De Jaren will also become a feast of recognition on stage. An impressive, intergenerational cast will give shape to the female protagonist: Viviane De Muynck, Els Dottermans, Carine van Bruggen, and Kiana Porte. Up-and-coming talent Hendrik Lasure provides the music.
