Two Flemish and two Dutch companies have created what they call a “poly-co-productive collaboration”. In the 0708 season actors Peter Van den Eede (De Koe), Damiaan De Schrijver (STAN), Matthias de Koning (Maatschappij Discordia), Gillis Biesheuvel (Dood Paard) and Willem De Welf joined forces for the performance Onomatopee. This time, STAN actress Sara De Roo will join their ranks to perform a piece based on Thomas Mann’s bildungsroman The Magic Mountain. The six of them manage to unlock the tome with the required bravado. De Morgen wrote, “It is rare that such an impossible task leads to an accessible, yet rich play.” World literature brought to the stage by a mammoth alliance of top actors: in this case the play is sure to be better than the book!
