Testament van een journalist Chokri Ben Chikha / Action Zoo Humain

In a time where no one really understands how our systems work and some might trade human rights for an iPad or a subscription to the Flair-magazine, we are increasingly guided by gossip, perception and gut feeling. Never before has there been such a cacophony of information: everyone is a journalist. Is this the end of journalism?

In the new production Testament of a Journalist, director Chokri Ben Chikha and Action Zoo Humain invites the audience to a last supper to celebrate the end of journalism. At the head of the table sits host and beloved, feared and reviled journalist Hugo Camps. As a symbol of an entire generation of journalists, he says goodbye and opens his will. He looks back one more time and shares his prophecies with his followers, his traitors and the silent crowd.

 Come and join us at the table, drink the wine, break the bread and take it in. Amen.

-- This performance was created in collaboration with the late journalist and columnist Hugo Camps, who died in 2022. As Testament of a Journalist continues to gain urgency: news vs fake news, young vs old generation, journalism vs politics, we continue to play this production partly at Hugo's insistence. --
