Two men with a shared past but a separate future. Best friends forever. Go to work together. Get busted together. Go to court together. Go to prison together. Get paroled together.
Both wearing a tether and forbidden to have contact.
But one day, one of them breaks the conditions and decides to visit his friend.
Some things are forever.
Young actor Titus De Voogdt has been playing with Arne Sierens’s Cie Cecilia for years, but felt the time was ripe to create his own work. With fellow actor and theatre maker Johan Heldenbergh as his coach, De Voogdt now presents his first piece. The duo gives it their all on stage, in a quest for pure language and gripping images. We already witnessed their chemistry in the film ‘Steve+Sky’ and other pieces by Cie Cecilia such as ‘Trouwfeesten en processen’ and ‘Maria Eeuwigdurende Bijstand’. Spawned from the hearts and minds of De Voogdt and Heldenbergh, ‘Vorst-Forest’ promises to have a rough edge, but a tender centre.
