Guy Cassiers . Het Toneelhuis
Een geschiedenis van de wereld in 10 1/2 hoofdstuk naar Julian Barnes
In 'A History of the World in 10½ Chapters', the English writer Julian Barnes makes a highly individual and ironic journey through the past. Barnes is a master at playing with fact and fiction, and with seriousness and humour. He confronts his readers with pertinent questions in a light but intelligent manner. What is history? Is that what actually happened? Or just what is told about it? What is an interpretation? And how many sides are there to the truth? Together with Guy Cassiers, Benjamin Verdonck, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Lotte van den Berg, Olympique Dramatique, Wayn Traub and de Filmfabriek draw inspiration from Barnes' narrative. A surprising route around the Bourla, a theatrical journey beyond the boundaries of reality and imagination, destruction and creation.
