Summit Ghent

“Anyone who can handle a needle convincingly can make us see a thread which is not there.” — E. H. Gombrich 

You are invited to a summit.
You are invited to a performance entitled SUMMIT.
You know, of course, that those are not the same thing.
After all, you know very well where the line lies between reality and fiction.

You like to see reality in a way you’ve never seen it before.
That’s why you choose theatre. But whether what you’ll see is always fiction - that, we cannot promise.

SUMMIT, alternately performed in Dutch or English, explores the boundaries between fact and fiction, belief and doubt, beauty and horror. What happens when words seem to be true, but aren’t quite? When we want to believe something, even though we know better?

With SUMMIT, Ontroerend Goed examines the power of language and our eternal longing for meaning. A performance that doesn’t ask you to decide what’s real, but invites you to believe in what we can imagine.
