Saint Amour

Behoud de Begeerte has already devoted almost 30 editions to its famous minnows. But we cannot and will not deny that human passion also has less sacred sides. Earlier, the high mass of love was already once renamed Chagrin d'Amour - to talk about all the things people do to each other in the name of love. Whereas during that 2010 edition, big and explicit feelings of jealousy, betrayal and pain were the order of the day, this Saint Amour in 2023 is set in the twilight zone, balancing on the thin line between love, nonchalance and misunderstanding.
Wided Bouchrika, Nikki Dekker, Hans Depelchin, Tobi Lakmaker, Joke van Leeuwen, Nina Polak, Angelo Tijssens, Paolo Giordano and others take the floor to discuss the complex and ambiguous relationships between people. No fifty shades or grey areas, but stimulating literature about the frayed edges of love: when passion gives way to carelessness. PJDS will provide the music, presented by Charlotte Remarque.
