Theater

Deze voorstelling is Engelstalig. Let op: het openingsprogramma is gewijzigd. Bezoekers die voor 17 oktober reeds een ticket hebben gekocht, worden nog persoonlijk op de hoogte gesteld. 

This best of Fringe winner by Betal Özay under the direction of Abhishek Thapar was already warmly welcomed at interesting spots, from a fisherman museum during Brighton Fringe until the Gorki Theater in Berlin and closer to home in Teylers house and at Oerol.

About the show: 

In the depths of the world’s grandest courthouse lies a hidden treasure trove – an evidence room brimming with real and surreal artefacts utilised in the commission of heinous crimes.

Enter Sevki Duru, the enigmatic ruler of this subterranean realm, poised to unveil his most prized possessions: a captivating collection of crime weapons, each with its own remarkable tale. Hailing from a land where Big Brother still reigns supreme, Duru arrives with a daring agenda. But be forewarned – his motives remain shrouded in mystery. Is he merely a humble clerk, as he professes, or a masterful raconteur, a cunning fraudster, or perhaps a desperate asylum seeker? The verdict is yours to render. All rise, and let justice be served.

Bio:
