'Geweldig theater is vaak heel eenvoudig, maar het is niet eenvoudig geweldig theater te maken.'
VIVE LE GEUS!
A blood-curdling, theatrical musical performance about 80 years of revolt, mutual divisions, intrigue and cruelty, but above all about the power of music in times of war. The battle of Heiligerlee, the terror of Alva, the Relief of Leiden, Van Oldenbarnevelt on the scaffold and the capture of the silver fleet. The 80 Years War, the most important period in the history of the creation of our country. Vive le Geus! brings the political beliefs and feelings of the people who were there very close. Music as a news source as well as a propaganda tool. Who could you trust? Were the Beggars terrorists or liberators? Was your neighbor on your side? Was there really a side? And which side would we choose ourselves?
Camerata Trajectina collaborates with Hans Goedkoop, historian and host of Andere Tijden and the television series De Gouden Eeuw. Never before have you stood so lifelike in the 80-year war!
