Voor het pensioen - Toneelhuis | Olympique Dramatique
The piece is set in the house of the Höller family on October 7, the birthday of Heinrich Himmler, former SS leader. He was once a camp commander and for years respected chairman of the court and almost retires. In the claustrophobic and incestuous house of the Höllers, an ideological game unfolds. A party that is about guilt, resentment, denial and moral decline. And about family ties that can never be broken.
director Thomas Bernhard gives us more than a history lesson with for the pension . It is an invitation to keep thinking about how the shadows of the past continue to chase us in the present. How far people go in their search for guidance.
