The Coat, Vanessa Broes and Johan Petit in collaboration with Martha!tentatief

Johan Petit and Vanessa Broes read De Mantel, a novella by Nicolai Gogol. In a reworked version. Each in their own way, in their own language. Prepare yourself for one of the most sad, but also most beautiful evenings you have ever experienced. De Mantel tells the story of Akakiej Akakiejevietsj, an insignificant little civil servant who fulfills the function of copyist at an insignificant ministry. Yet he is happy with his work. Every day again, from nine to five, he does nothing else but write. In the evening, after dinner, he continues working on the documents that he brings home from the ministry. And if he has nothing to do, he makes, out of pure hobby, a copy for himself. Thus lives Akakiej Akakiejewietsj his calm, peaceful life. Until he one day has a new coat made for himself. And then fate strikes.
