🚨 LORCA IS UITVERKOCHT 🚨

De Spaanse dichter Federico García Lorca staat bekend om zijn felrealistische toneelstukken als Yerma en Bloedbruiloft. Veel minder bekend is dat Lorca in de laatste maanden van zijn leven werkte aan het surrealistische toneelstuk Het Publiek.

Dit ‘geheime’ stuk vormde voor Joost Oomen en de Poezieboys het startpunt van een poëtisch eerbetoon aan de vermoorde dichter. LORCA was op Oerol 2023 de grote hit. Ook op De Parade 2023 viel het publiek en masse voor dit stuk, daar te zien in een verkorte versie. Nu is LORCA eindelijk in de theaters te zien.

“I see so many mothers teaching their sons about masculinity than they do about survival!”

Spoken word artist Sunni Lamin Barrow takes you through different stages of a journey he himself made: his flight from The Gambia to The Netherlands because of his sexual orientation. In this performance, in which storytelling merges with visuals, sound design and dance, Sunni testifies about what it is like to live as an African q***r person, and about the decisive influence that parents can have on how you develop.

David ’s father was a Libyan Jew who survived the N**i concentration camps as a child. Larger than life, he went on through business boom and bust, casinos and shady deals, a bomb attack, and more – hauling his loved ones on his wild rollercoaster of a life. Now David’s having a midlife crisis. He longs to grow up, but his macho dad keeps getting in the way. In Pieces of a Man, David brings us on a hilarious and transformational journey to find his dead father, and live on.

Alongside the program is offered David Labi’s ”Parental Storytelling Workshop“, for participants to process family stories with creativity and joy.

When Meysam is a small boy, his sister dies in a house fire. At least, that’s what he’s told. But he has other memories stashed away which no one will explain: He remembers the anguished confession of a young guy in a prison cell. Talks of an international arrest and the hanging of four men in the village square. Now that he’s an adult, and most of his family is gone, will those who remain tell the truth which has been hidden from him?

The Chord is an Iranian family tragedy and murder mystery. It tells the story of women’s resilience and the societal bonds which test it to the limit.

"Kobe's aanzienlijk compositorisch vernuft grijpt terug naar de 'jazz halycon hard bop' dagen van de jaren 1960. Hij is omringd door begeesterde muzikanten, die de typische jazz van die jaren '60 perfect uitstralen. Naast die muzikale omlijsting is er de inbreng van Daniëlle Zawadi, wiens spoken word belangrijk is in de sound en ons een spiegel voorhoudt..." (Musiczine ****, Erik Vandamme)

Een spannende set met referenties naar jazz uit de jaren '50 en '60 onder hyperactuele en bevlogen verhalen van een GenZ migrant.
