Theater en toneel

Welcome to the Doornenhof, a dilapidated villa in the eighties. Father and widower Gijselhart (played by Kirsten Mulder) lives there with his adult children. First one, then both. At the Doornenhof, everyone thinks that they are locked up and that the other person should be locked up.

Ancient conservative and obsessed with money and purity, he is diametrically opposed to his offspring. Daughter Magda (nicknamed Prul) is unmarried pregnant with a Jewish man and son Leendert returns from New York as an AIDS patient. Old wounds reopen. And when the cause of Pulse's baby appears on the scene, a confrontation is inevitable...

Verheijden opts for a grotesque, sometimes raw-comic style of play in which humor and discomfort coexist closely. Not to judge, but to make visible how people can lose each other. Just when they're trying to hold each other.
