"Sublime acting. The new generation has arrived and it is here to stay". That's what Belgian newspaper De Standaard wrote about Gruis / aan de twijfel (2023), voted best theatre production of the year. The play, based on the oeuvre of Dutch author Willem Frederik Hermans, crowned Werktoneel to press and audience favourite.
Like no others, Werktoneel (Jesse Vandamme, Louise Bergez, Joeri Happel, Lucie Plasschaert and Lucas van der Vegt), describes major social phenomena using hyper-personal stories and worlds. Whether it is about success and failure (Gruis / aan de twijfel), madness and fear (Solipsists), climate and capital (Giants), love and marriage (Scenes), or death and life (Aan de start van de brug [At the start of the bridge]).
The starting point for Aan de start van de Brug [At the start of the bridge] will be cryonism. Since the 1960s, the super-rich have been trying to overcome their mortality by freezing their bodies, hoping future scientist will succeed in reviving them. The outcome of their perverse experiment is highly uncertain. As guinea pigs, they are at the start of a bridge that most probably leads nowhere.
