ADJUSTING HOPE

The performance delves into the intricate relationship between writer Susan Sontag and her son David, interwoven with broader societal themes. On a stark stage, illuminated by cold light, stands a structure that appears to symbolize emptiness rather than belonging. Here, the shortcomings of a mother and her son in finding solace in each other become evident. Adjusting Hope presents a monologue featuring actor Dirk Roofthooft, under the direction of Thomas Janssens, who also wrote the script, accompanied by live music from jazz trombonist Nabou Claerhout.

Premiere on January 10, Compagnie Cecilia Ghent.
