Theater en toneel

In the autumn of 2026, Sinem Kavus, Adhem Kouta and Jack Wouterse can be seen in the play Almost a lifetime. 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 securities disappear, we seem to be living in a time when housing is increasingly becoming a privilege. What starts as a practical quest grows into a confrontation with the millennial's lack of support. How much room is left for your own choices when the conditions are becoming increasingly limited? It soon becomes clear that the housing crisis is no longer just about houses: she touches on identity, relationships, origins, opportunities and the question of who can afford a future.
