Als vader vechten is - Het Nut

Theater en toneel

Based on the story of Telemachus -the son of Odysseus - who stays at home when his father is besieging a distant city, Henry the Pecker wrote a new text about the vulnerable. About those left behind. And about the inheritance of an absent father.

Ellen Goemans and Joep Hendrikx play all roles. Two actors who switch effortlessly between realism and absurdism. As a writer, Hendrik is present on the floor and literally creates the mythical world in which fairy tale and documentary alternate. How do you deal with the fact that you look like someone you never knew?

And how do you become a father if you don't have one yourself?
