Opening Night - DE HOE
Under the influence of the exceptional film work of John Cassavetes and the acting of Gena Rowlands, DE HOE plays the excess, love and vulnerability. Opening Nightis a collective search for a New Emotionality in an emotionally saturated society. Flirting with sentimentality, playing life and death. Spontaneous yet directed. Sincere and not at the same time.
How do you want to speak?
Intense, right?
Grand and compelling, right?
And then it happened, in the hubris, always the hubris.
Then it happened, then I forgot my lines,
then I suddenly didn't know what to say anymore.
The media about Opening Night

“This script is so layered and these actors are so preoccupied that even the umpteenth deconstruction of theirOr hilarious, in the case of Peter Van den Eede.” (De Standaard ★★★★)
