My Bloody Family

You need it from your family. A father kills his daughter So the mother kills the father So the son avenges the father and kills his mother.

Meeuw jonge theatermakers comes this season with De Oresteia: the age-old drama of world class. Director Carlo Scheldwacht tackles it with eleven young players and reduces it to a paperback version with the question we have been wrestling with for two and a half thousand years: if everyone who throws a punch also deserves one, where does it end?

At each performance there is a program from our new department from 45 minutes before the start Meeuw jonge onderzoekers!

• What about the Trojan War again? And Iphigeneia, what happened there again? For these questions and more, you can take the refresher course given by Jeek ten Velden or the Scheldwacht brothers.
• Are you more up for a personal test? Then take part in the board game ‘Who am I actually?’ at one of our game tables in the foyer.

• And would you like to exchange ideas with an expert after the performance? Then afterwards, join one of the lawyers, judges or public prosecutors we have invited.

The follow-up discussions are made possible by the District Court of Northern Netherlands
