An older acting couple – played by real life couple Els Dottermans and Han Kerckhoffs – take stock of their love for each other and for their métier. To capitalise on their fame and make some money, they tour popular classics, including one about a drunken, vituperative intellectual couple. After a while, that’s the only show the audience still wants to see – all the others flop, but this show remains sold out. Evening after evening they are condemned to face each other in an ever-decreasing performance.

The only thing that changes is who their antagonists are: two younger actors are in the show, but couple after couple leave, slamming doors on the way out. Happily, the State is on hand to offer support: a subsidy is on offer, as long as the next chosen pair of young actors are “diverse.”

The first meeting between the two couples exposes a whole lot of hidden conflict to the light.

****

“Acteervuurwerk in handen van Els Dottermans en Han Kerckhoffs.”

De Standaard

****

“Een genadeloos goede voorstelling.”

De Volkskrant

“Een sprankelend taalfeest.”

Theaterkrant

****

“Confronterend en vol lef.”

NRC Handelsblad

"Samen met regisseur Koen de Sutter weten de twee een overtuigende voorstelling neer te zetten met bittere humor. Voor Lanoye is het een extra kers op de taart dat het alweer zijn vijfentwintigste toneeltekst betreft."
