About
Merlin Vervaet's play Le groupe de l'Ouest lointain runs at Rideau de Bruxelles in Elsene from 25 May 2027. It follows a jobless Brussels man searching for a village never discovered in Antarctica.
What to expect
Douglas Mawson, 30, a jobless Brussels man who drinks at a bar on Place Rouppe, learns of a village never discovered in the heart of Antarctica and leaves to find it without preparation.
He puts together an unlikely team met at the café and they leave Brussels for an expedition that is as exciting as it is dangerous.
The play mixes absurd comedy with an exploration story and asks whether adventure needs success to have meaning.
- An arthritic pianist and a superhumanly strong woman
- A taciturn philosopher who can heal souls
- Cold, hunger and crevasses threaten the group
- Others may be looking for the village too
