PARTY TIME

Toon Acke, Kes Bakker & Anna De Graeve
Wed 24 Feb and Thu 25 Feb

A dangerously timely and provocative performance by a new generation of theatre makers

In a country on the brink of civil war, an exclusive and influential circle gathers for a party. While the streets are on fire, there is amiable chatting, laughter, and dining. It’s party time!

On one side, a revolution is brewing; on the other, concerns arise about a membership at an exclusive tennis club. While waiting for the remaining guests, a hypocritical struggle for status, recognition, and power erupts among those present. A celebration on the edge of the abyss.

PARTY TIME is a biting satire that asks whether (political) power always corrupts. Can idealism survive within an economic system structurally built on self-interest? Within that power, is there also room for doubt and vulnerability?

Duration: TBA
Language: In Dutch

Following Housewarming, the trio Acke, Bakker and De Graeve collaborate once again. For their new production, they take Harold Pinter’s one-act play Party Time (1991) and Giuliano da Empoli’s non-fiction book The Hour of the Wolves (2025) as a starting point to write a new text. In doing so, they bridge the gap between classical repertoire and the world of today.
