’Marketplace 76’ by Jan Lauwers & Needcompany

With ’Marketplace 76’ Jan Lauwers writes a kaleidoscopic epic tale comprising four seasons. It offers a meticulous report on a number of villagers who have been overtaken and forced forward by time, and who in spite of everything are able to survive, though not always heroically. ’Marketplace 76’ reconciles dark themes with excessive love, friendship, happiness and survival. A Needcompany production. In coproduction with Ruhrtriennale (Bochum), Burgtheater (Vienna), Holland Festival (Amsterdam). With the support of the Flemish authorities. Text, directing, set design Jan Lauwers
