Front

Luk Perceval (Belgium / Germany), NTGent (Belgium) & Thalia Theater Hamburg (Belgium / Germany)

150 minutes

With Front theatre director Luk Perceval made a requiem about the suffering of the Great War. One hundred years later, a theatre text was written based on authentic letters of soldiers and other witnesses, which is performed in Dutch, German, French and English. In the trenches the soldiers were still on their different sides, in Front they are all standing together like brothers and talk about their own small war. As always Luk Perceval combines an intense actors' direction with an impressive scenography to make the inhuman suffering tangible. The question of reconciliation is at the centre of Front but how is this possible when sixteen million people were killed ? According to De Standaard, Front is “a masterpiece that gives you a firm shock.”
