In the run-up to the municipal elections on October 14, Madam Fortuna takes to the streets and gives citizens their vote. We sing and play about what our city has to offer and about what it lacks. 'Voice of the City' is a short street theater performance about the longing, joy and sadness of our city.
We will present ourselves in squares, in the streets. Both in the center and on the edge of the city. A group of 23 players, singers and musicians greet you!
Peter De Graef wrote the text based on the themes that our participants raised.
I WAS THINKING LAST NIGHT: WHAT SHOULD I SAY TOMORROW?!
WHAT ELSE IS RELEVANT TO SAY
IN A PERIOD WHEN EVERYONE THROWS EVERYTHING THAT COMES TO HIM INTO THE PUBLIC.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.NO ONE IS LOCKED UP. EVERYBODY. EVERYONE IS MORONIC.
IT WOULD BECOME ME TO BE SILENT NOW.
TO OFFER YOU THE SILENCE.
