You are not yet free from the obligation to live.
The Silver Lake
It needed a director at the height of this crazy play and Ersan Mondtag, the new darling of German theater, does not deserve it. With spectacular sets and exuberant costumes, he electrifies this play and gives it back its burning topicality in a Europe plagued by the return of nationalisms.

The breathtaking success of this production - prize for the best European co-production by the Syndicat français de la critique - owes a lot to the actor Benny Claessens who carries it with a beating drum. A real beast of the stage, this Flemish cut his teeth in Belgium before becoming one of the leading actors of the Kammerspiele in Munich and then of the Schaubühne in Berlin. During the Premiere at the Antwerp Opera, we witnessed his ability to turn the hall into a replica.
