Theater en toneel

In the autumn of 2026, Sinem Kavus, Adhem Kouta and Jack Wouterse can be seen in the play Almost a life. A painfully topical tragicomedy about love, ambition and the unaffordability of an independent existence. The brand new theatre text is by Vera Morina. Direction and concept are by Zorba Huisman, who, after the success of Lungs (2025) returns to Toneelgroep Maastricht with another deeply human story about thirties, set against the background of a housing market that intervenes deeply in the most personal choices.

During an all-consuming fight, in which words like weapons inflict wounds, their fate seems determined: Yara and Milo must now separate. But her bid for a house was rejected again and his lease contract continues for another six months. Breaking up doesn't seem to be an option.

As house prices rise, waiting lists grow, and certainties disappear, we seem to be living in a time when housing appears to be increasingly becoming a privilege. What begins as a practical quest evolves into a confrontation with the millennial’s lack of stability. How much room remains for personal choices when conditions become increasingly restrictive? It soon becomes clear that the housing crisis has long ceased to be just about houses: It touches upon identity, relationships, background, opportunities, and the question of who can afford a future.
