Wolfskers
[Theatre]
One of the main figures of the Flemish scene, Guy Cassiers is used to mixing drama, media and technology. In his Triptyque du pouvoir (A Triptych on Power), he explores the ins and outs of political power, echoing the situation of today’s Flanders.
The second part of the triptych, Wolfskers – the Dutch name for the Atropa Belladona, a deadly plant – is structured around three scenarios by Russian filmmaker Alexander Sukarov. It evokes the lives of Lenin, Hitler and Hirohito and delves into the depths of their psyche.
