Waar het met de wereld naartoe gaat, daar gaan wij naartoe

Ans Van den Eede and Greg Timmermans return to their very first love story  

Thirteen years ago, a man and a woman, ‘he’ and ‘she’, had to apologize. They wanted to tell you something about Denis Diderot's Jacques, le fataliste et son maître, but just as the protagonist of that novel never gets his love story told because he constantly gets lost inside stories and subplots, the man and woman failed to untangle Diderot's text for you. Their own relationship, of whatever nature, took precedence. They could not express - or would not express - what was going on between them, for fear of breaking what was there by giving it language. Therefore, they kept talking, trying above all not to talk about it. And precisely because of that, they were in danger of losing each other.   

In 2012, the then newly founded theatre company Hof van Eede won the TAZ-KBC Youth Theatre Prize with its very first performance: Where the world is going, that's where we are going, played by Ans Van den Eede and Greg Timmermans. Thirteen years later, with DE HOE, they return to the source of all the love affairs they have since experienced on stage. How do the texts of then resonate with their lives now? And do they get to play them at all? In their fickle homage to the art of conversation, Ans and Greg look back at their ideas about love back then, secretly longing for their lost naiveté. A reworking that is also a barred attempt to return to who they once were.
