‘A defiant and strikingly sincere performance.’ (**** De Morgen)
Director Ruud Gielens (Singhet ende weset vro) and writer Jeroen Perceval tackle Paul Van Ostaijen’s poetry collection Bezette Stad, the Flemish monument to the period between the wars. Armed with a beatbox and rap –measuring up to Paul Van Ostayen in rhythm and expression– this motley crew creates a contemporary version of these poems, whose main subject is the occupation of Antwerp in WW I. United in a virtuoso interplay of voices, Scale, Pitcho, Karim, Serdi, Ellen and Joost wage battle against the occupation of their cities, against consumption, the flood of advertising, hollow phrases and meaningless one-liners. They want their city back. And they are starting from scratch.
