ABOUT

(THE FATHER)
Father is the BMCie’s own interpretation of The Father by August Strindberg.

Man and woman are waging a hopeless fight. Misogyny is the standard. The social coded role play is dissected. The actors speak the harsh dialect of the Waasland which enacts perfectly the typical Flemish mentality characterised by hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness which dominate its dull living rooms. The play lodges a complaint against the deep-rooted traditional moral.

‘The Father’ is nominated for the Flemish-Dutch Theaterfestival en Luk Perceval wins the Oscar De Gruyter Prize for his direction of ‘The Father’.
