ABOUT
The plays stages not only Flemish actors but also German ones from the Schauspiel HANNOVER and from the Schauspielhaus of Zurich.
The spoken language is a kind of Germanic Esperanto, a poetic artificial language developed in collaboration with Shakespeare-translator Klaus Reichert.
By searching for a transparency which surpassed the limitations of German and Dutch, we worked out a new literary language which is sensible for both regions. Maybe the public isn’t able to grasp the meaning of all phrases, but will rather make associations in the narrative. By doing so the public will be able to sense what it means be cut off from reality, to understand how someone ends up in a mental maze.
