Under the influence

04/05/2024 > 04/05/2024

Under the Influence is geïnspireerd op de film 'A woman under the influence' van John Cassavetes (1974). In die film volgen we het koppel Mabel en Nick Loghetti (vertolkt door Gena Rowlands en Peter Falk). Mabel hangt vast aan hun huis en aan alle taken die ze daarbinnen als huisvrouw verricht. Ze kwijnt er weg. Tegelijkertijd leidt Nick’s onvermogen om zich tot Mabel’s instorting te verhouden tot passieve agressie.
Hij domineert Mabel door bot en ongeduldig te zijn. Cassavetes stelt op indringende wijze de vraag wie er werkelijk ‘waanzinnig’ is: de vrouw of de wereld om haar heen?

Theatermakers en geliefden Colette Goossens en Stan Martens werden geraakt door het verhaal van Mabel en Nick. Samen met Laurens Aneca gingen ze met het verhaal aan de slag. Enerzijds eigenden ze het zich toe
om de waanzin binnen hun eigen relatievorm te onderzoeken, anderzijds gebruikten ze het als vertrekpunt om zich te buigen over bredere, maatschappelijke vragen. Welke vormen kan liefde anno 2023 aannemen?
Hoe kunnen we geborgenheid rijmen met avontuur? En gelden er in de slaapkamer andere regels dan daarbuiten? In hoeverre kunnen machtsspelletjes, oneerlijke voordelen en subtiele wreedheden daar gedijen?

Deze voorstelling kadert in En Avant, de theatercarroussel van vijf gevestigde huizen (Het nieuwstedelijk, Theater Malpertuis, theater arsenaal, Compagnie Cecilia, Theater Antigone) die nieuw talent een presentatieplatform
willen geven. Meer info: https://www.enavantenavant.be
