Bijna een leven - Toneelgroep Maastricht

Theater en toneel

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

During an all-consuming argument, in which words inflict wounds like weapons, their fate seems determined: Yara and Milo must now separate. But her offer for a house has been rejected again and his lease continues for another six months. Breaking up appears not to be an option.

While house prices are rising, waiting lists are growing and certainties are disappearing, we seem to live 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 stability. How much room is left for your own choices when the conditions become increasingly limited? It soon becomes clear that the housing crisis is no longer just about houses: it affects identity, relationships, origins, opportunities and the question of who can afford a future.
